There is provided an image capturing apparatus. A live view shooting unit iteratively captures live view images in accordance with a shooting parameter for live view shooting. A main shooting unit performs main shooting in accordance with a shooting parameter for main shooting. A training unit performs, after the main shooting has been performed, training of a training model that outputs a shooting parameter in accordance with an input image, based on the shooting parameter for the main shooting and a first live view image captured by the live view shooting unit.

Image capturing apparatus, generating apparatus, control method, and storage medium

An imaging apparatus includes a focus detector configured to perform a focus detection based on a signal output from the image sensor corresponding to the first imaging, a calculator configured to calculate a first time corresponding to the second imaging, and a focus controller configured to perform a focus control for driving the focus lens to an in-focus position predicted at the first time based on a focus detection result. The calculator calculates the first time in accordance with whether the aperture control corresponding to the attached lens apparatus is a first aperture control for driving the aperture to a target aperture value via a predetermined aperture value from the aperture value before the aperture control or a second aperture control for driving the aperture to the target aperture value directly from the aperture value before the aperture control.

Imaging apparatus, lens apparatus, and their control methods

An image pickup apparatus being capable of performing a photometry process under a suitable condition and of achieving high-speed continuous photographing. A first drive, which accumulates and reads an electric charge with an image sensor for a photometry process, and a second drive, which accumulates and reads an electric charge to obtain an image signal for a static image, are alternately repeated during continuous photographing. A photometry process is performed based on the electric charge read by the first drive. An aperture value for obtaining the image signal of an (N+1)th frame is calculated based on a result of the photometry process during accumulation for obtaining the image signal of an N-th frame. A control unit controls a diaphragm based on the calculated aperture value and a predetermined aperture value during reading of the electric charge for obtaining the image signal of the N-th frame.

A digital camera includes a zoom function for supporting a user when performing a frame assist, and includes an operation switch for instructing startup and completion of the zoom function on an operation unit. A system control unit stores a zoom position in a memory and varies the zoom position in a wide angle position according to a preset zoom-out drive amount when an instruction to startup the zoom function is given by the operation switch. Then, when the instruction to end the zoom function is given by the operation switch, the system control unit executes a zoom-in operation by returning to the zoom position that is stored in the memory.

Imaging apparatus and control method for the same

A lens control apparatus having a zoom lens includes first and second operation members that give a zoom instruction for moving the zoom lens, and a controller that changes a zoom stop position to a first pattern according to the operation of the first operation member, and changes the zoom stop position to a second pattern, which has an interval wider than that in the first pattern, according to the operation of the second operation member.

An image pickup apparatus includes a display unit configured to display a setting item screen for displaying setting items and a setting value screen for displaying setting values regarding a setting item selected on the setting item screen; an operation unit configured to select one of the setting items on the setting item screen and to select one of the setting values on the setting value screen; wherein, in a case where a state of the image display apparatus is changed from a first state in which the selected setting item is active to a second state in which the selected setting item is non-active, the display unit displays an image indicating that a setting value regarding a setting item selected before changing the state of the image display apparatus from the first state to the second state cannot be selected by the operation unit.

Image display apparatus and control method for displaying setting items thereon

An image capturing apparatus has either one of a first display mode for continuously displaying a captured image on an image display unit and a second display mode for not displaying the captured image on the image display unit and displays an image according to the detection result on the image display unit when the second display mode is set.

Image capturing apparatus and image capturing apparatus control method

An image pickup apparatus includes a display unit configured to display a setting item screen for displaying setting items regarding a photographic condition, and a setting value screen configured to display setting values regarding the setting item selected on the setting item screen; an operation unit configured to select one of the setting items on the setting item screen and to select one of the setting values on the setting value screen; and a control unit configured to set a setting item regarding the photographic condition according to the setting value selected on the setting value screen, wherein if a state of the image pickup apparatus is changed from a state in which the selected setting item is active to non-active, the display unit continuously displays information indicating that the selected setting item is currently selected even when the selected setting item is non-active.

Image pickup apparatus capable of setting a photographic condition and control method therefor

An image capturing apparatus using a limited-rewriteable storage medium is disclosed. The image capturing apparatus writes generated image data in the limited-rewriteable storage medium at the time of shooting processing. On the other hand, an internal memory in the image capturing apparatus holds management information such as a FAT and directory entry. The apparatus writes the management information in the limited-rewriteable storage medium after the contents of the information are determined.
