Abstract
An apparatus having a sensor that performs photoelectric conversion on light formed by an optical system and outputs a resultant image, stores in memory a first image output from the sensor in a state that the optical system is controlled to a first focal length, and displays, on a second image output from the sensor in a state that the optical system is controlled to a second focal length which is shorter than the first focal length, a shooting frame indicating an area in which the second image and the first image coincide.
