Latest Patents

One of Hibbard's latest patents is for an electronic camera with a quick review of the last captured image. This innovative camera design incorporates a working memory for storing a working image corresponding to the last captured image. The working image is displayed on a display screen in a quick review mode of operation, which is activated by a quick review signal entered by the camera operator. The processing circuitry of the camera controls the display screen, keeping it inactive until the quick review signal is entered. After a predetermined time period or when the quick review signal is discontinued, the display returns to an inactive state to conserve energy. This feature allows the working image to be displayed in quick review mode regardless of the availability of non-volatile memory or the presence of a film cartridge in hybrid cameras.
