A first image capturing unit (to) configured to capture an image using a lens placed on a first surface, a second image capturing unit (and) configured to capture an image using a lens placed on a second surface, the second image capturing unit being configured to switch to first image capturing using a first lens and second image capturing using a second lens with a wider angle than an angle of view of the first lens, and a control unit configured to perform control to, during the image capturing by the second image capturing unit, in response to a user operation for changing from a still image capturing mode to a moving image capturing mode, switch to the moving image capturing mode and also switch from the first image capturing using the first lens to the second image capturing using the second lens, are included.

Electronic device and method for controlling the same

An electronic device having a first surface on which a first lens and a second lens with a wider angle than the first lens is arranged and a second surface on which at least a third lens is arranged, the electronic device comprising control means for controlling a captured image of the first lens to be displayed in response to issuing an instruction to display a captured image of a lens on the first surface, and controlling a captured image at a second field angle wider than the first field angle to be displayed in response to issuing an instruction to display a captured image of a lens on the second surface.

Electronic device with zoom control

An electronic apparatus including a first lens and a second lens at a first side, the second lens having a angle of view different from that of the first lens, includes a switching unit configured to switch first imaging via the first lens and second imaging via the second lens, and a control unit configured to control display of items corresponding to a plurality of respective imaging modes, wherein the control unit is configured to, in a case where the second imaging is being performed, control display of a first item and a second item in different display modes, the first item corresponding to an imaging mode that enables the first imaging and the second imaging, the second item corresponding to an imaging mode that enables the first imaging and disables the second imaging.

Electronic apparatus and method for controlling same to facilitate imaging mode selection

An image providing system capable of quickly providing a plurality of different cropped images is disclosed. The image providing system acquires position information about a position of a user designated by the user. The image providing system determines a range of an image that was captured by an image capturing unit, the range corresponding to the position information as a cropping range, before the image capturing unit starts a series of image capturing in which the image capturing unit captures a plurality of images. After the series of image capturing is started, the system applies cropping that cuts out a part of a captured image based on the cropping range. During the series of image capturing, the system provides a cropped image to which the cropping has been applied in a way in which a user can obtain the cropped image.
