Abstract
A display control unit is provided to set a first display mode and a second display mode each for consecutively displaying a first display image and a second display image of a type different from the first display image at a display unit, while switching between the first display image and the second display image, in continuous image-capturing. A time from when the first display image is displayed until when the second display image is displayed next is shorter in the first display mode as compared to the second display mode. The display control unit performs switching between the first display mode and the second display mode, based on information about a movement of an object in the continuous image-capturing.
Claims15
An image pickup apparatus that includes an imaging device, and can perform continuous image-capturing for capturing consecutive images of an object using the imaging device, the image pickup apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor configured to perform operations of the following units;
- a display unit configured to cause display of an image acquired using the imaging device;
- and
- a display control unit configured to set a first display mode and a second display mode each for consecutively displaying a first display image based on a still image for recording and a second display image based on a live view image at the display unit, while switching between the first display image and the second display image, in continuous image-capturing,
- wherein a time from when the first display image is displayed until when the second display image is displayed next is shorter in the first display mode as compared to the second display mode, and
- wherein a difference between an interval from when the first display image is displayed until when the first display image is displayed next and an interval from when the second display image is displayed until when the second display image is displayed next is shorter in the second display mode as compared to the first display mode.
A method of controlling an image pickup apparatus having an imaging device, the method comprising:
- display controlling for setting a first display mode and a second display mode each for consecutively displaying a first display image based on a still image for recording and a second display image based on a live view image, at a display unit, while switching between the first display image and the second display image, in continuous image-capturing,
- wherein a time from when the first display image is displayed until when the second display image is displayed next is short in the first display mode, compared to the second display mode, and
- wherein a difference between an interval from when the first display image is displayed until when the first display image is displayed next and an interval from when the second display image is displayed until when the second display image is displayed next is shorter in the second display mode as compared to the first display mode.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer-executable program for executing a method of controlling an image pickup apparatus having an imaging device, the method comprising:
- display controlling for setting a first display mode and a second display mode each for consecutively displaying a first display image based on a still image for recording and a second display image based on a live view image, at a display unit, while switching between the first display image and the second display image, in continuous image-capturing,
- wherein a time from when the first display image is displayed until when the second display image is displayed next is short in the first display mode, compared to the second display mode, and
- wherein a difference between an interval from when the first display image is displayed until when the first display image is displayed next and an interval from when the second display image is displayed until when the second display image is displayed next is shorter in the second display mode as compared to the first display mode.
