Abstract
An image capture apparatus includes an output unit, a first horizon maintaining assistance processing unit, and a second horizon maintaining assistance processing unit. The output unit sequentially outputs and displays captured images on a display screen. The first horizon maintaining assistance processing unit and the second horizon maintaining assistance processing unit determines whether it is difficult to identify a capturing condition of the captured image that is sequentially outputted and displayed by the output unit by way of the output unit. Furthermore, in a case in which it is determined that it is difficult to identify the capturing condition in the captured image by way of visual recognition of the display screen, the first horizon maintaining assistance processing unit and the second horizon maintaining assistance processing unit display a guidance relating to the capturing condition on the display screen or executes correction processing on the captured image.
