摘要

A digital camera device (10.1 - 10.3) is disclosed having a digital zoom function (35) in order to form an output image (OIM1 - OIM3). In the user interface (UI) of the device is arranged to be set as the setting concerning the digital zoom function (35) one or more size limit for the output image and based on the one or more size limit and the size of the cropped primary image (PIM) produced by the imaging means (13, 14) and cropped on the display (11) an image processor (12) is used to perform scaling operations for the cropped primary image at least in part of the digital zoom range defined by the said one or more size limit.
