Abstract: A system and method utilize a digital camera-ready printer which can print directly from a variety of conventional digital cameras on the market. The digital camera-ready printer includes a camera interface that can link with a digital camera in different modes to transfer frames of digital image data from the digital cameras to the digital camera-ready printer. Preferably, the camera interface includes a hot shoe receptor to establish a convenient hot shoe link between the digital camera and the digital camera-ready printer. The digital camera-ready printer includes a processor that can identify the coupled digital camera in order to instruct the digital camera to transmit the frames of digital image data. The processor can also convert the format of the digital image data to a predetermined image file format. The processor of the digital camera-ready printer along with a display device allows a user to edit and manipulate an electronic image represented by a single frame of digital image data prior to printing.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus has a portable monitor. Image data taken by the imaging apparatus is compressed and stored. The monitor serves as a view finder which displays image data which is being observed, and also serves to reproduce and display image data stored in a memory. A removable modem is coupled to the imaging apparatus. When the modem is coupled to the imaging apparatus, image data obtained by photography is transmitted through the telephone line. Like the image data, voice data can be stored in the memory and transmitted through the modem. The image data and the voice data can be compressed and combined with each other. By transmitting and receiving such synthesized data, the imaging apparatus can be used as a TV telephone.
