A timing generator for an electronic image sensor includes one or more memory based tables for controlling timing events that occur within one or more different types of image sensor lines, and one or more memory based tables for controlling timing events that occur within one or more different types of image sensor frames.

A digital camera includes a CCD operating with accumulation mode clocking for capturing an electronic representation of an image; and two or more clocks operatively and respectively connected to each phase of the two or more phases for initiating flushing of excess current, wherein, to initiate flushing, a time the clocks are at a high level are substantially the same, and a time the clocks are at a low level can be selected at any duration between a minimum width at which dark current starts to substantially increase and twice its normal operating duration during image readout and for reducing power consumption while retaining minimum dark current and for having a substantially uniform dark field.

A system for automatically associating user-generated data to images, the system comprises a card reading device which receives and recognizes the user-generated data entered directly from manipulation of the terminal by a user. A camera captures an image and receives the data from the card reader device for associating a captured image and the data for forming a labeled image.
