A display control apparatus to display a display object on a display unit includes a display control unit to perform control. In a case where a predetermined operation is started while the display object is displayed on the display unit at a first magnification, the display control unit performs control to provide a display indicating an enlargement area of the display object based on the information about the enlargement position stored in the storage unit without changing a display magnification of the display object and then provide an enlarged display of the enlargement area of the display object based on the information about the enlargement position stored in the storage unit, even without the predetermined operation being newly started. The enlarged display is enlarged at more than the first magnification.

Display control apparatus and control method thereof

An image capturing control apparatus comprising: an AF instruction switch configured to receive an instruction to carry out AF; and at least one memory and at least one processor which function as: a display control unit configured to control a display of a first display item and a second display item for adjusting a focus amount, as a MF operation; and a control unit configured to carry out control so that: in an MF operation before AF, a focus position is moved by a respective amount in response to the first display item or the second display item being operated; and in an MF operation after the AF, the focus position is not moved in response to the second display item being operated, or the second display item is not displayed.

Image capturing apparatus controlling manual focus operation amounts before and after autofocus, control method thereof, and storage medium

A method for switching between a live view display state where two separate areas are enlarged and a live view display state where the entire imaging area is displayed, with good operability. In response to a first operation on a first operation unit in a state of 2-area enlargement display for displaying live view images respectively captured in two horizontally or vertically separated imaging areas, side by side, control is performed to cancel the 2-area enlargement display and display an entire live view image captured by the imaging unit. In response to a second operation on the first operation unit, control is performed to resume the 2-area enlargement display.

Imaging control apparatus and method for controlling the same

An electronic apparatus comprises a detection unit configured to detect a touch operation on a touch sensitive surface, an operation unit that is located at a position different from a position of the touch sensitive surface, and a control unit configured to, when neither the touch operation nor an operation on the operation unit has been performed for a first period, perform control to switch to a lock state without hiding display on a display unit, the lock state restricting execution of a function corresponding to the touch operation, and upon accepting the operation on the operation unit during the lock state, perform control to switch to a state in which the function corresponding to the touch operation is executed by releasing the lock state, and to execute a function corresponding to the operation on the operation unit.

Electronic apparatus and control method thereof

A user easily recognizes, during the recording of a movie to which a predetermined effect is intended to be applied, a time point at which an effect-applied part starts or ends. An electronic apparatus includes an image capturing control unit configured to perform control to record a movie including at least a first recording period for applying a specific effect is applied and a second recording period to which the specific effect is not applied, and the second recording period is a period contiguous to the first recording period, in one recording period, and a display control unit configured to perform control to display, during recording the movie, an information display related to a time point at which the first recording period switches to the second recording period or a time point at which the second recording period switches to the first recording period, during recording the movie.

Electronic apparatus and for notifying predetermined time point during movie recording and method for controlling the same

When an item is selected with a touch from an item list, if display of a guidance is set to ON, the item is selected by a first touch and the guidance is displayed to view another item. A determination operation is performed by a second touch to the same item. If the display of the guidance is set to OFF, a determination operation of an touched item is performed by the first touch without displaying the guidance. Thus, when it is set that the guidance is not displayed, inconvenience that a user needs to touch the same option twice even the guidance display is not required to shift a screen to a sub-screen can be eliminated, and increase of troublesomeness for a shift operation to the sub-screen can be prevented.

Display control apparatus and control method of display control apparatus for reducing a number of touch times in a case where a guidance is not displayed as compared with a case where the guidance is displayed

An electronic apparatus comprises a touch detection unit which detects a touch operation on a display unit, a display control unit which controls to display a specific display item on the display unit, and a control unit which controls to execute a specific function in response to a touch operation as a touch at a position in a first area, at least a portion of which is included in a display area of the specific display item, and controls not to execute the specific function in response to a touch operation as a touch at a position in a second area, at least a portion of which is included in a display area of the specific display item.

An electronic apparatus comprises a certification unit configured to certificate a mounted battery, and a control unit configured to perform control such that, if an instruction to execute first processing is given before certification processing by the certification unit is completed, the first processing is not executed before the certification processing is completed, and if an instruction to execute second processing is given before the certification processing by the certification unit is completed, the second processing is executed before the certification processing is completed.

A moving image recording device comprising, an item superimposition unit configured to superimpose a superimposition item over a moving image in accordance with an input from a user, a storage control unit configured to cause a storage unit to store the moving image together with the superimposition item; and a control unit configured to control the storage unit to store information of an image over which the superimposition item has been superimposed in association with the moving image so that the image over which the superimposition item has been superimposed is used as a representative image of the moving image based on a change in a superimposed state of the superimposition item superimposed over the moving image by the item superimposition unit.

When rendering a graphic according to the locus of an input position, it is determined whether a region which has been preset for the graphic to be rendered, and has the start position of the continuous input as a reference overlaps a region preset for an already rendered graphic by a predetermined amount or more. If it is determined that the regions do not overlap each other by the predetermined amount or more, a graphic is rendered according to the locus of the input position. Alternatively, if it is determined that the regions overlap each other by the predetermined amount or more, control is switched to remove the already rendered graphic according to the locus of the input position.
