Abstract

Real image data is generated by a camera in addition to positional data representing characteristics of said camera, including an indication of zoom control. A synthesized image is generated for combination with the real image and the perceived focus of the synthesized image is adjusted in response to zoom control adjustment, so as to effect a focusing difference between a portion of said real image and a portion of said synthesized image.
