Abstract
An apparatus, if a live view image is not displayed in an enlarged manner on first and second display units, outputs, to the first and second display units, an image acquired by superimposing a guide indicating a degree of focus of a focus detection region, on the live view image, and if a live view image is displayed in an enlarged manner on the first display unit, outputs, to the first display unit, an image acquired by enlarging a partial region in the live view image that includes the focus detection region and superimposing the guide on the enlarged image, and outputs, to the second display unit, the live view image on which the guide is not superimposed.
Claims20
An electronic apparatus comprising:
- a first output unit configured to output an image to a first display unit;
- a second output unit configured to output an image to a second display unit;
- and
- a memory and at least one processor and/or at least one circuit which function as:
- a control unit configured to,
- if a live view image is not displayed in an enlarged manner on the first display unit and the second display unit, perform control so as to output, to both the first display unit and the second display unit, an image acquired by superimposing a guide indicating a degree of focus of a focus detection region, on the live view image, and
- if a live view image is displayed in an enlarged manner on the first display unit, perform control so as to output, to the first display unit, an image acquired by enlarging a partial region in the live view image that includes the focus detection region and superimposing the guide on the enlarged image, and output, to the second display unit, the live view image on which the guide is not superimposed.
