Abstract

Disclosed are a digital display camera in a changing environment and an associated method of digital control. The method can be applied more particularly to digital cameras for endoscopy. It enables a user to access a very large number of parameters of settings while at the same time using only a limited number of data inputs. The camera is constituted by an optoelectrical detection head (DH) and a processing unit (PU) connected to the detection head. The processing unit is provided with a keyboard (FFK) and is connected to a remote control unit (RC). The processing unit (PU) contains pre-recorded digital functions, each enabling the setting of at least one parameter of the camera, as well as options that are characteristic of a given environment, grouping together a set of said functions. It furthermore comprises especially a module for the monitoring of the data elements entered by the user, for example by means of the keyboard (FFK) or the remote control unit, these data elements representing the functions and/or options chosen, a module for the processing of the data elements corresponding directly to functions and/or options chosen by the user in order to carry out the corresponding settings of the camera.
