Abstract
A digital device having an image-handling function, adapted to be held at a level between a user's shoulder level and the user's hip level and directed toward a scene, comprising: a display located on a first surface of the device; an image capture component comprising a lens locatable adjacent a second surface, the lens being adapted to capture a field of view having a center lying on an axis substantially parallel to the first surface; a spatial attitude detector for detecting a current attitude of the device relative to a baseline attitude; a selector for selecting a portion of the field of view according to the baseline attitude; a distortion corrector for correcting distortion of the view caused by an angular difference between the current attitude and the baseline attitude; and a renderer for rendering a corrected image by the distortion corrector on the display.
