A digital camera is provided with a vertically long camera body having an approximately rectangular solid shape. An LCD panel provided in a rear surface of the camera body is arranged such that longitudinal directions of the display screen and the camera body correspond to each other. The digital camera is operated through a touch panel provided in a lower portion of the display screen. In a taking mode, an image is displayed in a small size on an upper portion of the display screen. In reproducing, the camera body is rotated sideways by 90 degree. In a reproducing mode, display posture of the image is also rotated by 90 degree, and the image is displayed in a large size on the entire display screen.

Provided are an imaging apparatus, an imaging method, and a program capable of accurately and simply controlling a movement sensitivity of an index displayed on a finder monitor to a sensitivity desired by a user by using a touch panel installed on a rear monitor. The imaging apparatus (10) has a finder that includes the finder monitor (13), the touch panel (31) that receives a swipe operation for moving the index, and an image processing unit (24). The image processing unit (24) includes a sensitivity setting unit that sets a first sensitivity for coarsely moving the index by the swipe operation or a second sensitivity for finely moving the index by detecting a contact operation to the touch panel in the swipe operation, and a movement control unit that moves the index on the basis of the swipe operation on the touch panel and the sensitivity set by the sensitivity setting unit.

A display control apparatus includes detection means (a proximity sensor 75) configured to detect that an object has approached, and control means (a system control unit 50) configured to perform control such that in response to the detection means detecting that the object has approached, a display of a first display unit (a monitor 28) is turned off. In a case where interval shooting or long exposure shooting is performed, the control means performs control such that in response to the detection means detecting that the object has approached (S411), the display of the first display unit is turned on (S413).

A view system (100A, 100B) for a vehicle (1) has at least one image capture unit (10A, 10B) for capturing image data of an area around the vehicle (1), wherein the image capture unit (10A, 10B) has an image sensor (11A, 11B) and an optical element (12A, 12B), at least one image processing unit (20A, 20B) for processing the image data captured by the image capture unit, and at least one light source (40, 40.1, 40.2) for illuminating the optical element (12A, 12B). The view system is configured to highlight the recognizability of a foreign particle (S, T), which is located on the optical element (12A, 12B), on the image sensor (11A, 11B) of the image capture unit (10A, 10B) by means of the illumination of the optical element (12A, 12B).

An imaging apparatus includes: a first display; a second display; a speaker configured to output a sound effect in response to a predetermined operation; and a controller configured to control an output of the sound effect from the speaker. The controller is operable to: in a case of the first display set as operable, cause the speaker to output a sound effect having a first frequency characteristic in response to the predetermined operation; and in a case of the second display set as operable, cause the speaker to output a sound effect having a second frequency characteristic in response to the predetermined operation, the second frequency characteristic being different from the first frequency characteristic.

An image capturing apparatus that allows a photographer to easily recognize whether or not a blurring generated in an image at the time of image capturing is due to a spherical aberration variable mechanism is provided. The image capturing apparatus, to/from which a lens barrel can be attached/detached, comprising a mounting unit configured to mount the lens barrel, a processor; and a memory storing a program which, when executed by the processor, causes the image capturing apparatus to obtain an adjustment amount of spherical aberration from the lens barrel mounted on the mounting unit, and control a display device to display information about the adjustment amount together with an image obtained through the lens barrel.

A digital camera has a finder device that enables an optical image which is observable from an observation position and a display image (imaging range frame) of an OLED display to be simultaneously visible by superimposing the display image on the optical image, the digital camera including a system control unit that performs a control of sequentially changing a display position of the display image in the OLED display in a first range, in which a maximum width of the first range is 6 arc-minutes or more and 18 arc-minutes or less in terms of an observation angle (visual angle) in a case where the first range is observed from the observation position.

A photometer includes a luminous flux splitter that splits a luminous flux incident from a single light receiving optical system and guides the luminous flux to a finder optical system and a photometric part. A light receiver is arranged at a position to receive at least a part of light split into the finder optical system by the luminous flux splitter and generates an output for light emission profile analysis according to a light reception result.

A control method of an image pickup device is provided. The image pickup device includes a camera, a display, and a touch panel that is overlapped with the display and detects at least a sliding touch operation. The display displays a video image captured by the camera in first, second and third modes. The control method includes: switching to the second mode by a first sliding touch operation in a first direction on the touch panel in the first mode; switching to the third mode by a second sliding touch operation in the first direction in the second mode; switching to the second mode by a third sliding touch operation in a second direction in the third mode; and switching to the first mode by a fourth sliding touch operation in the second direction in the second mode. The second direction is substantially opposite to the first direction.
