Abstract
An imaging field region display apparatus for switching an aspect ratio of the imaging field includes a first display device that displays a first imaging field region in which an imaging field display state changes in the first imaging field region and a second display device that displays a second imaging field region in which an imaging field display state changes in the second imaging field region, which differs from the first imaging field region, and displays a third imaging field region, which is at least one part of the first imaging field region. The second display device also causes a boundary between the second and the third imaging field regions to appear to be continuous.
