Abstract
An image capture apparatus has a continuous photographing mode for continuously photographing still images. The image capture apparatus includes an image capture unit, a pseudo shutter curtain generating unit, an image synthesizing unit, and a display unit. The image capture unit generates an image signal of an object. The pseudo shutter curtain generating unit generates a pseudo shutter curtain signal corresponding to a pseudo shutter curtain. The image synthesizing unit synthesizes the image signal generated by the image capture unit and the pseudo shutter curtain signal generated by the pseudo shutter curtain generating unit. The display unit displays the image signal and the pseudo shutter curtain signal. The pseudo shutter curtain generating unit sets the pseudo shutter curtain to be translucent, if the image capture apparatus is in the continuous photographing mode.
