Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved system and an improved method of setting image acquisition controls for cameras which set parameters for camera image acquisition apparatus. SOLUTION: The system and the method set parameters for a camera image acquisition apparatus using computer image processing means. As a skilled photographer, an image to be photographed is analyzed and controls are set according to a main theme, thus automatically setting imaging parameters. The system can operate in a full automatic mode which selects the best imaging parameter or in a 'guide mode' which prompts the user to select candidates, if many alternative settings are valid.
