Abstract:
A digital camera comprises a housing having a front surface, a rear surface, a base surface and an inclined surface adjoining the rear and base surfaces, the base surface being the surface on which the digital camera is supported at rest; an image sensor for capturing an image, the image sensor provided on the front surface; a digital storage device for digitally storing the image captured by the image sensor; a printer located within the housing for printing the captured image on media external to the camera as the camera traverses the media, a printhead of the printer being provided on the inclined surface and at an angle normal thereto; and a speed sensor for sensing a speed at which the camera traverses the media. The printhead of the printer is operated in accordance with the speed sensed by the speed sensor. The inclined surface is presented parallel to the media to effect printing.
