ABSTRACT:
An accessory module is used with an electronic camera having an image sensor for generating an image signal, and a card slot for accepting a removable memory card for storing the image signal. The accessory module comprises two parts: an adaptor unit that fits into the card slot of the camera and connects to electronics in the camera and an accessory unit that interfaces with the adaptor unit. The accessory unit includes an image memory for storing the image signal representative of the image captured by the camera, an operational section for operating on the image signal stored in the image memory, and an accessory card slot for receiving the image signal and interfacing with the removable memory card, whereby the memory card can be used with the camera through the accessory card slot despite the card slot in the camera being occupied by the accessory module. According to one embodiment, the operational section in the accessory unit provides for display of the image signal.
