Abstract
An image display control apparatus includes an image data supply section that supplies an image composed of a plurality of pixels arranged two-dimensionally in a matrix form as captured image data, a mask data supply section that supplies mask data for masking the image data, an imaging instruction accepting section that validates an imaging instruction acceptance signal when accepting an operation input corresponding to an imaging instruction, and a drawing section that sequentially draws the respective pixels, each having a pixel value, in the image data every predetermined period. When detecting that the imaging instruction acceptance signal is valid, the drawing section draws the pixels such that each pixel has a value including the mask data as the pixel value after the detection.
