1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an apparatus for processing a digital image and a method of controlling the apparatus, and more particularly, to an apparatus for processing a digital image that can capture an image input through an image pickup device by pressing a shutter-release button, and a method of controlling the apparatus.
2. Description of the Related Art
In general, examples of apparatuses for processing a digital image include all devices that process images or use an image recognition sensor, such as a digital camera, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a phone camera, and a personal computer (PC) camera.
An apparatus for processing a digital image, such as a camera, can display images input through an image pickup device. When a user presses a shutter-release button, the apparatus for processing the digital image can capture a desired image and store the captured image as an image file.
When the user presses the shutter-release button, however, the apparatus for processing the digital image may be shaken due to the user's hand shake, resulting in blurry and unclear images and a failure in photographic quality.
As the apparatus for processing the digital image has recently become smaller and slimmer, the apparatus for processing the digital image has become more affected by hand shake caused when the shutter-release button is pressed. In addition, as the apparatus for processing the digital image has been developed to offer higher magnification and higher resolution, the risk of shaking the apparatus for processing the digital image due to hand shake caused when the shutter-release button is pressed has increased.
To solve the problem that a desired image cannot be captured due to hand shake caused when a user presses a shutter-release button, a hand shake sensor may be used. The hand shake sensor can measure the amount of hand shake and correct for it. However, the hand shake sensor is then additionally required.
