A method and apparatus for use in a digital imaging device for correcting image blur in digital images by combining plurality of images. The plurality of images that are combined include a main subject that can be selected by user input or automatically by the digital imaging device. Blur correction
A method and apparatus for use in a digital imaging device for correcting image blur in digital images by combining plurality of images. The plurality of images that are combined include a main subject that can be selected by user input or automatically by the digital imaging device. Blur correction can be performed to make the main subject blur-free while the rest of the image is blurred. All of the image may be made blur-free or the main subject can be made blur-free at the expense of the rest of the image. Result is a blur corrected image that is recorded in a memory.

1. A method comprising: displaying an image in a viewfinder;receiving user input, by the viewfinder, designating a main subject in the image;capturing a plurality of photographic images at a recording medium, wherein the plurality of photographic images include the designated main subject;combining
1. A method comprising: displaying an image in a viewfinder;receiving user input, by the viewfinder, designating a main subject in the image;capturing a plurality of photographic images at a recording medium, wherein the plurality of photographic images include the designated main subject;combining by a processor, the plurality of photographic images to create a combined photographic image such that the main subject in the combined photographic image is substantially blur free and areas of the combined photographic image other than the main subject are blurred; andrecording, in a memory, the combined photographic image. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein combining includes calculating by the processor a pixel value for each pixel in the main subject of the combined photographic image, based on values of the pixel of the main subject in the plurality of images. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the areas of the combined photographic image other than the main subject are blurred compared to the plurality of photographic images being combined. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the viewfinder receives the user input based on a selection of an indicator in the viewfinder. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the processor indicates the main subject by an indicator in the viewfinder based on the received user input. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the combining comprises shifting the plurality of images such that the main subject is aligned in a same location in the plurality of images. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein combining the plurality of photographic images to generate a corrected image is performed by combining sequential images. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the combining further comprises determining a pixel value, for each pixel not in the main subject of the combined photographic image, based on pixel values in the plurality of photographic images. 9. An apparatus comprising: a viewfinder configured to display an image;a processor configured to receive user input that designates a main subject in the image in the viewfinder;a recording medium configured to capture a plurality of photographic images, wherein the plurality of photographic images includes the designated main subject;the processor further configured to combine the plurality of photographic images to create a combined photographic image such that the main subject in the combined photographic image is substantially blur free and areas of the combined photographic image other than the main subject are blurred; anda memory configured to record the combined photographic image. 10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein, combining includes calculating by the processor a pixel value for each pixel in the main subject of the combined photographic image, based on values of the pixel of the main subject in the plurality of photographic images. 11. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the areas of the combined photographic image other than the main subject are blurred compared to the plurality of photographic images being combined. 12. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the viewfinder receives the user input based on a selection of an indicator in the viewfinder. 13. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the processor indicates the main subject by an indicator in the viewfinder based on the received user input. 14. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the combining comprises shifting the plurality of images such that the main subject is aligned in a same location in the plurality of images. 15. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein combining the plurality of photographic images to generate a corrected image is performed by combining sequential images. 16. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the combining further comprises determining a pixel value, for each pixel not in the main subject of the combined photographic image, based on pixel values in the plurality of photographic images. 17. A method comprising: displaying an image in a viewfinder;designating by a processor, a main subject in the image in the viewfinder;capturing a plurality of photographic images at a recording medium, wherein the plurality of photographic images include the designated main subject;combining, by a processor, the plurality of photographic images to create a combined photographic image such that the main subject in the combined photographic image is substantially blur free and areas of the combined photographic image other than the main subject are blurred; andrecording, in a memory, the combined photographic image. 18. The method of claim 17, wherein, combining includes calculating by the processor a pixel value for each pixel in the main subject of the combined photographic image, based on values of the pixel of the main subject in the plurality of photographic images. 19. The method of claim 17, wherein the areas of the combined photographic image other than the main subject are blurred compared to the plurality of photographic images being combined. 20. The method of claim 17, wherein the processor indicates the main subject by an indicator in the viewfinder. 21. The method of claim 17, wherein the combining comprises shifting the plurality of images such that the main subject is aligned in a same location in the plurality of images. 22. The method of claim 17, wherein combining the plurality of photographic images to generate a corrected image is performed by combining sequential images. 23. The method of claim 17, wherein the combining further comprises determining a pixel value, for each pixel not in the main subject of the combined photographic image, based on pixel values in the plurality of photographic images. 24. An apparatus comprising: a viewfinder configured to display an image;a processor configured to designate a main subject in the image in the viewfinder;a recording medium configured to capture a plurality of photographic images, wherein the plurality of photographic images includes the designated main subject;the processor further configured to combine the plurality of photographic images to create a combined photographic image such that the main subject in the combined photographic image is substantially blur free and areas of the combined photographic image other than the main subject are blurred; anda memory configured to record the combined photographic image. 25. The apparatus of claim 24, wherein combining includes calculating by the processor a pixel value for each pixel in the main subject of the combined photographic image, based on values of the pixel of the main subject in the plurality of photographic images. 26. The apparatus of claim 24, wherein the areas of the combined photographic image other than the main subject are blurred compared to the plurality of photographic images being combined. 27. The apparatus of claim 24, wherein the processor indicates the main subject by an indicator in the viewfinder. 28. The apparatus of claim 24, wherein the combining comprises shifting the plurality of images such that the main subject is aligned in a same location in the plurality of images. 29. The apparatus of claim 24, wherein combining the plurality of photographic images to generate a corrected image is performed by combining sequential images. 30. The apparatus of claim 24, wherein the combining further comprises determining a pixel value, for each pixel not in the main subject of the combined photographic image, based on pixel values in the plurality of photographic images.
