ABSTRACT:
A camera includes an image receiver for capturing an image of an object, an optical section for directing image light from the object to the image receiver, and a viewfinder for viewing the object prior to capture together with a tile pattern for specifying active "hot spot" areas in the viewed image. The tile pattern in the viewfinder is composed of a plurality of individual tile areas that are visible through the viewfinder together with the image of the object. The camera further includes means for designating one or more individual tile areas as active areas of the image, and means for recording a location of the active areas in a memory location accessible to apparatus external to the camera. The camera is part of a system in which the apparatus external to the camera is a computer. A program in the computer is responsive to the recorded locations for enabling one or more specific actions to be assigned to the active areas of the recorded image when the image is accessed by the computer.
