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 mobile terminal in which an imaging unit is provided on a front surface side and a display unit and a sensor are provided on a back surface side includes a signal processing unit which, from a signal output by the imaging unit, generates information to be displayed by the display unit, and a control unit into which a signal from the sensor is input and which controls the signal processing unit. A display state of the display unit based on the control performed by the control unit includes a first display state for display in a first display region if no detection signal is being input from the sensor, and a second display state for display in a second display region if a detection signal is being input from the sensor.

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.

Provided are an imaging apparatus, an imaging method, and a program that change a display form of a display unit in accordance with whether or not a display content of the display unit is visually recognizable. An imaging apparatus (10) includes a first display unit (13), and a processor (40), in which the processor (40) performs a determination process for determining whether or not a display content of the first display unit (13) is visually recognizable by a user, and a display control for displaying a first display including at least one of a captured image or a character in a case where it is determined through the determination process that the display content is visually recognizable, and for causing the first display unit (13) to display a second display that is a surface display in a case where it is not determined through the determination process that the display content is visually recognizable.
