Application No. 10/649,277
We will not sustain the examiner's rejection of claims 1-3,
6, 7, 12-16, 19, 20, 28-30, 33, 34, and 39. Takagi discloses a
camera that displays predicted images that are based on stored
image signals with diverse photographic information such as
varied luminance values, focus positions, and angles of view
[Takagi, abstract, col. 2, lines 1-15]. The user then selects at
least one of the displayed plural images and then photographs the
image in accordance with the photographic information
corresponding to the selected image [id.]. Such a feature not

achievable by adjusting various controlling values, it also
informs users of the resultant images before actual photographing
so that appropriate and intended photographs are obtainable with
only one frame of film [Takagi, col. 1, lines 54-67, col. 12,
lines 13-26].

resultant images is created for each of a plurality of original
