Invention description: [Technology of invention belongs to continuation gj Especially refers to the method of shooting in the reverse light = light! = light control system and method ^ then using flash to fill light /, ', the difference in the number of turns [previous Technology] In the i line shooting #,,, k, backlight photography is the most difficult to control - for example, people who shoot outdoors face the sun or the camera light or other light source, so usually shoot 2 The light "other light source" allows the required subject to not produce unrecognizable black shadows due to the retrograde sorrow, while the conventional digital camera lacks the flash to shoot a good contrast setting function 'often because Causes the background to be overexposed.

當運用閃光燈進行拍攝時,錢值配合閃光燈 燈指數(Guide Number,GN值)即成為重要的調校參 其中,光圈值專於焦距除以有效孔徑(光圈值=焦距/有 效孔徑),是數位相機規格中的f值,用來調整拍攝時單位 時間的進光量,一般光圈以f/8、F8等方式來標示,其反 映了拍攝時的進光量。 〃 而GN值,每一個閃光燈的強度並非一致,對於一般 消費型數位相機所掛載的閃光燈而言,閃光燈強声為定 值,不能調整,故能夠左右曝光的是照射距離與光圈的大 小。閃光燈強度用此GN值來表示,閃光燈指數等於被攝When shooting with the flash, the value of the flash with the flash number (Guide Number, GN value) becomes an important tuning. The aperture value is specific to the focal length divided by the effective aperture (aperture value = focal length / effective aperture), which is digital. The f value in the camera specification is used to adjust the amount of light entering per unit time during shooting. Generally, the aperture is marked by f/8, F8, etc., which reflects the amount of light entering during shooting. 〃 And the GN value, the intensity of each flash is not the same. For the flash mounted on a general consumer digital camera, the flash sound is fixed and cannot be adjusted, so the exposure distance and the aperture size can be left and right. The flash intensity is represented by this GN value, and the flash index is equal to the shot.

To avoid this, the brightness of the scene and the background must be checked before shooting. (back-lighting compensation), so that the subject can be clearly presented, such as the following methods of shooting in the case of backlighting. In the case of photography in the case of backlighting, the prior art has proposed a variety of different solutions. The method of applying a flash lamp in the case of backlighting has been disclosed as an exposure control device using a camera flash, as disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,690,536. When shooting, first measure the brightness of the subject, then measure & the van Gogh's area outside the subject, such as the background, and then over-exposure by backlighting the brightness of the subject and the background. In the case of backlighting, it is possible to balance the exposure control of the light, backlight and general light source in the case of backlighting. There is also a camera that can control the exposure of an image sensor provided by US Pat. No. 6,950,141, which obtains a more average in front-lighted, back-lighted or over-bright light. The amount of exposure, especially the face of the subject is divided into 64 parts, and the camera calculates the average brightness for the 64 parts, including the average of the upper half of the image and the average of the lower half. The average value of the measurement to control the exposure of the image sensor. Please refer to the camera with exposure control function disclosed in U.S. Patent Publication No. 20040101296, which includes a backlight adjustment function for determining whether an image is in a backlight state, and this function compares all measured by photometry. After the average brightness of the image and the brightness of the subject other than one distance, the camera performs an appropriate exposure control and can use the flash to fill the light, so that the appropriate exposure image can still be obtained under backlight shooting. In a conventional manner, in the case of backlight photography, it is possible to adjust the exposure value (EV value) of the image capturing device to make the foreground have a larger exposure value, or (2) use the flash to perform the foreground ( The subject's fill light. In terms of the fill mode of the flash, because the image capture device (such as a digital camera) will determine an aperture value from the measured exposure value, the aperture value may not be properly adjusted with the flash to overexpose the background portion. The invention proposes a method for performing backlight shooting for correction of the aperture value. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Unlike the conventional method for photographing under backlight, the 200821742 backlight control system and method for backlighting is to perform foreground and background metering, and use the image capturing device to set background and foreground aperture levels. Count, and then use the flash to fill the shooting method. A preferred embodiment of the flash control system for backlighting includes a flash unit, which can be a flash attached to the image capture, and the flash index is adjustable; and a light metering unit for shooting The device performs metering; there is an aperture adjustment unit, which is used to adjust the aperture aperture size and control the exposure amount after metering and setting the aperture of the background and foreground; and then an image capturing unit is used after focusing. The image sensing component such as CCD and CMOS can capture the image through the lens, and then convert the captured image into a digital signal; and then have a _memory unit, which can temporarily store the captured image and memory (four) value during the shooting process. Find the parameters required for shooting with the aperture value, and store the digital files that have been taken. After taking it, the central processing unit that contacts each unit in the image capturing device and controls the operation of each unit includes a variety of flashes under the backlight for completing the present meal, a small aperture determining unit, an object distance calculating unit, and a GN value calculating unit. Wait. And the preferred embodiment of the flash control method of the backlighting camera comprises the first shooting of the foreground for metering, the previous exposure based on the detected exposure value, the aperture value 'and then the background part of the metering, the same measured - exposure - The second value of the scene; then the difference in the aperture level of the desired backlighting scene, ie the first aperture value and the second light (four) ϋ, then focus, and calculate the foreground according to the first aperture according to the imaging formula The difference between the value and the second aperture value, using the flash index equal to the object distance multiplied by the aperture value is 8 200821742 flash flash index, and finally with the preset shutter value, aperture value and flash with the flash index Light to shoot. [Embodiment] The present invention is a flash control system and method for backlight photography, which means that the background and foreground aperture levels can be set in the image capturing device (the preferred embodiment is a digital camera) during backlight photography. The difference between the number and the flash is used to make the outdoor photographer face the sun or other light source, and is shot!! People ί to the sun or other light sources, usually need to make up the flash or other light source when shooting. The required flashing body does not generate thermal shadows due to the state of backlighting. Therefore, the flash control system provided by the present invention first learns the scene by the photometric instrument or the photometric function of the photographing device itself. The background exposure value (EXp0sure Value, EV value), including the shutter ^shutter) and the aperture value (aperture), etc., after determining the brightness difference or the aperture level of the foreground and the background, and obtaining the aperture value of the backlight shot. Then, when shooting, use the flash to fill the light to get a photo. : Generally speaking, in the case of backlight photography, the user mostly uses the fill light of the flashing scene (the subject) or directly adjusts the image to a value of ≥. In the method of using the flash to fill light, the light device will judge the aperture value from the measured exposure value, and the phase value can be properly coordinated with the flash light, and the foreground light is still insufficient. Hair: _==== Method is for - kind of target * 200821742 The shooting method using the flash index, please refer to the second picture shows the shooting process in a dark environment: the shooting ability limits the aperture size, the aperture value is usually With numbers such as 2, 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11, 16 and so on, the larger the number is, the shutter value is set preferentially during the shooting process of the general shutter s (shutter pri〇rity), and then the decision-phase value is required.

After the shutter value is determined (step S201), after the image capturing device is aimed at the subject, the age, usually the _half-door key, is performed (step S203); then the image taken by the imaging formula is taken. The object distance (p) of the object, at this time the lens in the lens is driven to focus, because the imaging formula of the spherical mirror is l/p+l/q= l/f, where the object distance, q is the image distance, and f is the focal length. Once the focus is completed, the focal length f / ^ ^, the distance between the detector and the spherical mirror is also known, so it can be known as ^ q , ^ ^ , Na); ... it is easy to know the object distance K step and then judge the aperture value. In this embodiment, the aperture value is closely related to the amount of light emitted by the flash. The amount of light emitted by the flash is usually measured by the flash index (the illusion of the GN is not the same as the amount of light of the flash other than the automatic flash), so the degree of exposure can be left and right. The material distance and the size of the aperture are calculated. The GuMe Number Distance X APmure is the GN value of the exposure when the flash is used. The product of the aperture value, (4) the lamp index counts the money A, indicating 10 200821742 = In the wide example, 'Because the flash index of the flash is known, the subject distance is obtained, and the aperture value is obtained (the shutter value determined by the step is taken with this aperture value (step s2〇9) The method of estimating the aperture value according to the backlight == flash index is applied to the flow chart of the preferred embodiment of the present invention, such as the daytime backlighting of the light source (e.g., the sun).
