An electronic apparatus calls stored settings related to an automatic focus (AF) area and a type of object to be detected based on a user's specific operation, and performs object detection processing and focus detection processing based on the called settings.

Electronic apparatus, method for controlling electronic apparatus, and storage medium

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

A control method for an electronic apparatus includes tracking a tracking target included in an image, moving a tracking start position, starting tracking of the tracking target from the tracking start position, stopping tracking of the tracking target, controlling first processing for, at the stopping of tracking, setting the tracking start position to a position at which the tracking target has been tracked until immediately before the stopping of tracking and second processing for, at the stopping of tracking, setting the tracking start position to a previously determined tracking start position, and selecting one of the first processing and the second processing according to a state obtained at the stopping of tracking and performing the selected first or second processing.

A method for an apparatus includes setting, as a first setting, a first item relating to a type of a detection target, setting, as a second setting, a second item relating to an AF area, executing object detection processing on an object of the type set in the first setting, executing focus detection processing based on information about the AF area set in the second setting, and storing the settings as a combination of the set first item and the set second item, wherein the stored settings are called by a user through a specific operation, and the object detection processing and the focus detection processing are executed based on the called settings.

Apparatus, method for apparatus, and storage medium

An electronic device includes: a gaze detecting unit configured to detect a position of gaze input on an image displayed on a display unit; a subject detecting unit configured to detect from the image a subject of a specific type and a region included in the subject of the specific type; and a control unit configured to execute control so that, in a case where a position selected prior to a user operation on an operating member is not on the subject in the position of gaze input, a region corresponding to the user operation, which is included in the subject in the position of gaze input, is selected in response to the user operation, regardless of the position selected prior to the user operation.

Electronic device and control method for electronic device

There is provided an image capturing control apparatus. A non-blur region setting unit sets, within a screen, a non-blur region to which blur processing is not applied. In response to an operation performed by a user, a focus detection region setting unit sets, within the screen, a focus detection region in which focus detection is performed. When the focus detection region is outside the non-blur region, a control unit performs control to issue a notification that is not issued when the focus detection region is inside the non-blur region.

An image capture apparatus controls the image capture apparatus, in a case where a subject image can be viewed via a viewfinder, so that a moving distance of a predetermined item, which indicates a designated area on a display unit within the viewfinder that can be viewed via the viewfinder, moves for a first moving distance of a touch position on a touch panel is larger when the designated area has a second size larger than a first size, than when the designated area has the first size. It is possible to increase operability for a user in the case of moving an item, whose size is variable, by moving the touch position.

An electronic apparatus is provided for performing control, in a case where a touch is started on an area corresponding to a detected first face, and then the touch position of the touch moves in a first direction, to select a first organ area included in the first face, and, in a case where the touch is started on the area corresponding to the detected first face, and then the touch position of the touch moves not in the first direction but in a second direction, to select a second organ area included in the first face.

Electronic apparatus and method for selecting an organ from an image

An electronic device includes a display control unit configured to perform control to display a first display item and a predetermined item on the display screen, and a control unit configured to perform control in such a manner that, according to an operation on the display screen in a first state, the first state transitions to a second state for changing a display position of the first display item, wherein, in a case where the first state transitions to the second state, the predetermined item is displayed regardless of the display position of the first display item, and in a case where an operation for changing the display position of the first display item is performed in the second state, the predetermined item is displayed at a position corresponding to the changed display position of the first display item.
