Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. Develops Digital Image Processing Apparatus

A digital image processing apparatus developed by Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. can display first content, generate second content based on an input signal, and generate third content related to the second content. The apparatus can also control various functions for editing an image while capturing the image or after capturing the image so that the user may generate an image having a desired form. The invention provides a digital image processing apparatus capable of variously manufacturing additional content related to a moving image, and a method of controlling the digital image processing apparatus.

Key Takeaways:
