ABSTRACT:
When a shutter key is pressed, the first image (in-focus image) is picked up and temporarily stored. The focus position is changed to a near- or far-focus position. The second image (out-of-focus image) is picked up and synthesized with the first image. The synthesized image is a soft-focus image in which a background around the contour of a main object is blurred.
