Display control apparatus and control method therefor

In an electronic device according to the present invention, on a first screen, a range of a part of a VR content having a first video range is displayed as a display range and the display range is changed in accordance with an orientation change of the electronic device or a display range change operation, and on a second screen, a first image with a second video range that is narrower than the first video range and a second image with a range outside of the second video range in the first video range are displayed side by side; an edited VR content including the second video range is generated; and the second video range is changed in accordance with a video range change operation in a state where the first image and the second image are being displayed on the second screen.

Electronic device, control method, and non-transitorycomputer readable medium

An electronic device according to the present invention includes: a processor; and a memory storing a program which, when executed by the processor, causes the electronic device to: perform control to change a display region of an image in accordance with an orientation change of the electronic device or in accordance with accepting a user operation and display the display region of the image on a screen; and determine a clipping region of the image to be clipped from the image based on a position of the display region of the image, wherein the image includes the display region and the clipping region and the clipping region is wider than the display region.

Electronic device and control method thereof

An electronic device includes a control unit to control so that cyclical scroll display of a same content is performed on the second screen, the cyclical scroll display involving, in accordance with a first operation, scrolling the VR content being displayed by flat display in a first direction without scrolling the indicator and sequentially displaying, in the first direction from an end in a second direction in the rectangular region, an image region corresponding to a scroll amount in the first direction among the VR content, and that the cyclical scroll display is not performed on the first screen even when the first operation is performed; and a generating unit to generate an edited VR content including a second video range that is narrower than the first video range among the VR content on the basis of a region indicated by the indicator.

Electronic device and control method thereof for generating edited VR content

An electronic apparatus includes a control unit configured to, if an operation mode in capturing a wide field view image is a first operation mode, perform control to clip out a first range in which a predetermined range with respect to a center of a clipped image includes any one of above an imaging apparatus, above in a direction of gravity, and below in the direction of gravity, and if the operation mode is a second operation mode, perform control to clip a second range in which, different from the first range, a predetermined range with respect to a center of a clipped image includes a direction perpendicular to a vertical direction of the imaging apparatus or a direction perpendicular to gravity, or to not perform clipping.

Electronic apparatus and method for clipping a range out of a wide field view image

An electronic device includes first and second operation units. Where an item, allocated as a setting item for which a setting value is changed according to an operation on the first operation unit, is a first item, the first item setting value is changed per the operation on the first operation unit. After a predetermined operation of releasing an operation on the second operation unit, or performing a particular operation to be performed after releasing the operation on the second operation unit, the allocated item becomes different depending on whether the operation on the second operation unit is continuously performed for a first period or longer after the operation is performed on the second operation unit when the first item is set as the allocated item, until the operation on the second operation unit is released.

Electronic device and control method thereof to switch an item for which a setting value to be changed

An electronic device includes a first operation member for changing a set value of an allocated function item, and a second operation member for changing a function item allocated to the first operation member, and registers a set of function items to be allocated to the first operation member. The set includes a standard function that is allocated to the first operation member before the second operation member is operated, and the electronic device controls switching among function items to be allocated to the first operation member based on whether the standard function is an invalid function and on the number of function items included in the registered set, the switching being performed in response to an operation performed on the second operation member, the invalid function disabling changing of the set value by the first operation member.

Electronic device and method of controlling the same

An image capture apparatus, comprising, an image capture unit, an attitude detection unit configured to detect an attitude of the image capture apparatus, and a display control unit configured to perform control so as to display an image that was captured by the image capture unit in, among a first area along a first edge in a display unit visible through an eyepiece unit of an eyepiece finder, and a second area differing from the first area and along a second edge opposing the first edge in the display unit, the first area regardless of the attitude detected by the attitude detection unit, and so as to display an information group related to shooting in the display unit with an arrangement that differs according to the attitude detected by the attitude detection unit.

Image capture apparatus, method of controlling image capture apparatus, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

An image capturing control apparatus configured to switch between a first mode in which a specific setting relating to image capturing is automatically performed and a second mode in which the specific setting is performed based on an amount of user operation and a control unit configured to perform control, in a case where the first mode is switched to the second mode by a user operation before the image capturing preparation instruction is received, the second mode is not switched to the first mode based on a release of the image capturing preparation instruction, and in a case where the first mode is switched to the second mode by a user operation during the image capturing preparation instruction is being received, the second mode is switched to the first mode based on the release of the image capturing preparation instruction is being received.

Image capturing control apparatus and method for controlling the same

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
