An image capturing apparatus obtains an image, a first detecting unit detects a specific subject from the image, a second detecting unit detects an identifier from the image, a decoding unit obtains information indicated by the detected identifier, a comparing unit compares a distance from a center of the photographing view angle of the image to a region that the subject is detected and a distance from the center of the view angle to a region that the identifier is detected, or a comparison between a size of the region that the subject is detected and a size of the region that the identifier is detected. According to the comparison, a processing unit switches between displaying a screen that allows a user to select whether to execute processing based on the identifier indicated information, without automatic focus control, and performing the automatic focus control for the subject without screen display.

Image capturing apparatus capable of suppressing detection of subject not intended by user, control method for image capturing apparatus, and storage medium

An imaging control apparatus includes a setting unit configured to set a time of a self-timer, a control unit configured to control image capturing to be performed upon a lapse of the time set by the setting unit from when an image capturing instruction is issued, and a display control unit configured to control a count display to be displayed with a first size in a case where the time set by the setting unit is equal to or larger than a first predetermined time, and to control the count display to be displayed with a second size smaller than the first size in a case where the time set by the setting unit is smaller than the first predetermined time.

Imaging control apparatus, control method of the same, and storage medium

An image capturing apparatus comprises: a reception unit configured to receive information of a zoom position of the lens unit; a setting unit configured to set a predetermined range on the basis of information of a first zoom position; a control unit configured to, when the control unit detects that the zoom position of the lens unit has been changed from the first zoom position to a second zoom position, cause driving of the focus lens to stop, and, when the control unit detects that the zoom position of the lens unit has changed from the second zoom position to within the predetermined range on a telephoto side, resuming driving of the focus lens, wherein the predetermined range is set to include the first zoom position on the telephoto side from the second zoom position.

There is provided an apparatus that can prevent invoking of unintended functions in gesture operation. The apparatus displays gesture functions executable by movement of touch position, and when movement of touch position satisfies a first condition, confirms executable gesture functions to display confirmed functions. When the movement of touch position satisfies a second condition after the confirmation, the apparatus cancels the confirmation. When the touch input is released in the confirmed state, the apparatus executes the confirmed functions, and when the touch input is released in the canceled state, control does not execute gesture functions.

Display control apparatus and control method thereof

An image processing device capable of rotating an image through a desired rotation angle such that a display direction of an image matches a posture of a user. A first image pickup section acquires a main image, and a second image pickup section acquires a sub image. A display image formed by combining the main image and the sub image is displayed on a display section. Rotation instructions for rotating the main image and the sub image displayed on the display section are separately given. The main image and the sub image are rotated according to the respective rotation instructions. The main image and the sub image, on which rotation processing has been performed, respectively, are combined and displayed on the display section.

Image processing device that performs image rotation processing, method of controlling the same, and storage medium

An imaging apparatus is capable of preventing unintended shooting setting when a through-image is displayed at a zoom position different from a field angle for reach shooting. The imaging apparatus includes a recording control unit configured to record a zoom position taken before a start of a function for temporarily changing the zoom position as a first position, a zoom control unit configured to perform control to move the zoom position from the first position to a second position when the function is started, and from the second position to the first position when the function is ended, and a control unit configured to perform control, when the zoom position is at the second position by the function, not to make any changes according to an instruction for changing specific shooting setting.

Imaging apparatus and method for controlling the same

There is provided an image capturing apparatus. A detection unit detects a position that has been designated by a user on a first display screen. A display unit displays, on the first display screen, a captured image generated by a image capturing unit. A transmission unit transmits the captured image to an external apparatus, the external apparatus being configured to display the captured image on a second display screen and detect a position that has been designated by the user on the second display screen. An obtaining unit configured to obtain, from the detection unit or the external apparatus, position information based on the position designated by the user. A selection unit selects a partial region of the captured image based on the position information if the position designated by the user is within an effective range.

Image capturing apparatus, control method therefor, and storage medium

There is provided an imaging apparatus including a plurality of imaging units, and capable of recording a situation when a photographer captures a still image, and a change or reaction of the person such as the photographer other than the objects in the still image. The imaging apparatus includes a first imaging unit, a second imaging unit, an imaging instruction unit configured to instruct the first imaging unit to capture a still image, and a control unit configured to record a still image captured by the first imaging unit in a recording medium and to record a moving image captured by the second imaging unit in the recording medium when the imaging instruction unit instructs the first imaging unit to capture a still image.

When identification information of an appending start frame coincides with identification information of the final frame of moving image data of an existing moving image file, an image processing apparatus changes the appending start frame to another frame.

Image processing apparatus

When a photographed image is recorded using a detachable recording medium having a transmission function, to easily distinguish an image corresponding to the transmitted image and an image corresponding to the image that has not been transmitted yet, when the image data is recorded in the recording medium having a wireless communication unit, the image corresponding to the transmitted image and the image corresponding to the image that has not been transmitted yet are separated and stored in separated folders formed on the recording medium. For example, the image data is stored in the DCIM2 folder and the DCIM folder. When the image data is stored, the image data corresponding to the transmitted image data is reduced and stored in the DCIM2 folder, while the image data corresponding to the transmitted image data is deleted from the DCIM folder.

Imaging apparatus using a recording medium with a function to transmit image data recorded in a predetermined folder to an external device, and recording reduced image data in a folder different from the predetermined folder after transmitting the image data, and control method and non-transitory computer readable storage medium thereof

An apparatus includes a display unit configured to display a captured image, an object region detection unit configured to detect the main object region in a photographic screen, a determination unit configured to determine whether the main object region is in a focused state, an enlarge unit configured to enlarge and display the main object region in focus on the display unit larger than when the main object region is not in focus, an object movement detection unit configured to detect whether the main object in the main object region moves in the photographic screen, and an enlarge control unit configured to, when the object movement detection unit detects that the main object is moving, limit the enlarge from performing enlargement and display.
