Digital camera for processing and printing images

Abstract

A digital camera for processing and printing an image is provided having an image sensor for capturing image data from images sensed at an auto exposure setting, an image processor for processing the image to produce processed data, a printer for printing the processed data, and an interface for receiving a cartridge having postcard media and memory storing information regarding a size of each postcard. The image processor produces the processed data using the auto exposure setting and the information regarding the size of each postcard read from the cartridge memory.

1 . A digital camera for processing and printing images, the camera comprising:
 an image sensor for capturing image data from images sensed at an auto exposure setting;   an image processor for processing the image to produce processed data;   a printer for printing the processed data; and   an interface for receiving a cartridge having postcard media and memory storing information regarding a size of each postcard,   wherein the image processor produces the processed data using the auto exposure setting and the information regarding the size of each postcard read from the cartridge memory.   
     
     
         2 . A digital camera according to  claim 1  wherein the printer has an inkjet printhead for printing the processed data. 
     
     
         3 . A digital camera according to  claim 2  wherein the cartridge has ink for use by the inkjet printhead. 
     
     
         4 . A digital camera according to  claim 2  wherein the image processor uses the information from the auto exposure setting to determine a re-mapping of colour data within the image data such that the printhead prints an amended image that takes account of the light conditions of the sensed image.
