A convenient form of text editing in a camera device utilizing complex
character sets is disclosed. The device includes a digital camera device
able to sense an image; a manipulation data entry card adapted to be
inserted into the digital camera device and to provide manipulation
instructions for manipulating the image, including the addition of text to
the image; a text entry device for the entry of the text which includes a
series of non-roman font characters utilised by the digital camera device
in conjunction with the manipulation instructions so as to create new text
characters for addition to the image. The font characters are transmitted
to the digital camera device when required and rendered by the camera in
accordance with the manipulation instructions. The non-roman characters
can include at least one of Hebrew, Cyrillic, Arabic, Kanji or Chinese
characters.
