Image pickup apparatus that displays aspect markers, and storage medium

An image pickup apparatus comprising:

• a lens mounting section that is capable of having mounted thereon a first lens for scaling a video by a factor of 1/a (a>1) in a horizontal direction with respect to a vertical direction;
• a transformation unit configured to generate a first transformed video by enlarging a first video acquired via the first lens by a factor of a in the horizontal direction;
• a display unit configured to display a video;
• and
• a display control unit configured to perform control such that in a case where the first transformed video generated by the transformation unit is displayed, first aspect markers indicating an aspect ratio of m:n are displayed in a state superimposed on the first transformed video, whereas in a case where the first video is displayed, second aspect markers indicating an aspect ratio of m/a:n are displayed in a state superimposed on the first video.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer-executable program for executing a display control method for displaying a video acquired by an image pickup apparatus including a lens mounting section via a lens mounted on the lens mounting section,

• wherein the display control method comprises:
• determining a type of the lens mounted on the lens mounting section;
• and
• performing control such that in a case where it is determined that the type of the lens mounted on the lens mounting section is a first lens for scaling a video by a factor of 1/a (a≥1) in a horizontal direction with respect to a vertical direction, first aspect markers indicating an aspect ratio of M:N are displayed in a state superimposed on a first video acquired via the first lens, whereas in a case where it is determined that the type of the lens mounted on the lens mounting section is a second lens for scaling the video by a factor of 1/b (b≥1, a≠b) in the horizontal direction with respect to the vertical direction, second aspect markers indicating an aspect ratio of M′:N (M′=M×a/b) are displayed in a state superimposed on a second video acquired via the second lens.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer-executable program for executing a display control method for displaying a video acquired by an image pickup apparatus on which a first lens for scaling a video by a factor of 1/a (a>1) in a horizontal direction with respect to a vertical direction is mounted,

• wherein the display control method comprises:
• generating a first transformed video by enlarging a first video acquired by the image pickup apparatus via the first lens by a factor of a in the horizontal direction;
• and
• performing control such that in a case where the first transformed video is displayed, first aspect markers indicating an aspect ratio of m:n are displayed in a state superimposed on the first transformed video, whereas in a case where the first video is displayed, second aspect markers indicating an aspect ratio of m/k:n are displayed in a state superimposed on the first video.
