Problems solved by technology

However, because the appearance and form of the lithium batteries used by different manufacturers to match the digital cameras designed by themselves are not the same, so they cannot be replaced with each other, causing inconvenience
[0005] Furthermore, since current digital cameras display relevant information individually for the detection of the memory card or the battery, the user cannot know exactly how many photos can be taken by the power storage of the currently used battery. The detection method is used to remind the user to replace the battery, and the reminder is often only when the battery is at a low level. At this time, the user cannot perform any shooting actions and may lose a better shooting opportunity.

Embodiment Construction

[0029] What the present invention provides is a method for predicting the number of image captures, which can be applied to a digital camera for taking pictures, and in the embodiments described below are all based on a fixed lithium battery (Lithium Battery) As an example for illustration, in addition, since different digital cameras can have different camera modes under the camera function, the most basic camera modes provided can be, for example, general mode, flash mode, live view (Live View) mode or zoom ( Zoom) mode, etc. for users to operate and switch. Among them, the normal mode means that the user simply presses the shutter button to focus and take pictures; the flash mode means that the user not only takes pictures in the normal mode, but also turns on the flash to supplement the light; The liquid crystal display (LCD) in the camera is used for framing and viewing. If the real-time view mode is turned off, the viewfinder (View Finder) of the digital camera is used t...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method of predicting an image retrieving amount, which is characterized in a photo function applied in a digital camera. The method comprises following steps: firstly, separately establishing a corresponding battery capacity comparison table according to a photo mode supported by the photo function; and then gaining a magnitude of battery voltage of the digital camera so as to furthermore query the battery capacity comparison table corresponding to the photo mode according to the photo mode; finally gaining the image retrieving amount in the battery capacity comparison table, so as to display a display element of the digital camera to provide information of the number of photos which can be processed to take. Making use of the method can reach an aim of reminding the user that the user can change the photo mode to reduce power consumption, so as to take more photos.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for predicting the number of captured images, in particular to a method for predicting the number of captured images by using power statistics on a digital camera. Background technique [0002] In recent years, due to the rapid development of digital camera industry technology, the penetration rate of digital cameras has increased year by year, and the capacity and speed of memory card storage media closely related to digital cameras are also increasing day by day. In addition, for the power supply of batteries This aspect has also been valued and improved by various manufacturers. [0003] Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a schematic view showing the status display of a digital camera in the prior art. As shown in the figure, the digital camera 10a often uses a memory card icon 11a and a battery icon 12a to display the usage status of the memory card and the battery storage capacity respectively. Provide the user wi...
