a switching unit configured to switch between first shooting and second shooting different from the first shooting, the first shooting being shooting in which at least one of a condition that a recording resolution is greater than or equal to a predetermined resolution and a condition that a shooting frame rate is greater than or equal to a predetermined frame rate is satisfied; and a control unit configured to perform control to display an image on a display unit in such a manner that, in the second shooting, the image to be displayed on the display unit is reduced to a smaller size in a case where a frame display setting is ON than in a case where the frame display setting is OFF, and, in the first shooting, the image to be displayed on the display unit in the case where the frame display setting is ON is not reduced to a size smaller than that of the image to be displayed on the display unit in the case where the frame display setting is OFF, the frame display setting being a display setting for information. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The display control apparatus according to claim 1, wherein, in the first shooting, the control unit performs control so that a size of the image to be displayed on the display unit is not changed between when the frame display setting is ON and when the frame display setting is OFF. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The display control apparatus according to claim 1, wherein, in the case where the frame display setting is ON, the control unit performs control so that information is displayed around the image to be displayed on the display unit such that the information does not overlap the image. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The display control apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the first shooting is shooting in a shooting mode in which the shooting frame rate is changeable by a user. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The display control apparatus according to claim 1, wherein first image data is image data obtained through an anamorphic lens, and the image data obtained through the anamorphic lens is image data corresponding to an image of an object which is formed in a state where the image of the object in a horizontal direction is more compressed than that in a vertical direction. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The display control apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the acquisition unit is configured to acquire first image data corresponding to an image of an object which is formed with different magnifications between a horizontal direction and a vertical direction, and wherein the control unit performs control so that first resize processing is performed on the first image data in the second shooting, and second resize processing is performed on the first image data in the first shooting. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The display control apparatus according to claim 6, wherein, in the first resize processing, first processing for clipping a part of the first image data is performed and then resize processing for generating a display image is performed such that second image data having been subjected to the first processing has a predetermined aspect ratio. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The display control apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the control unit performs the first resize processing on the first image data in which the image of the object in the horizontal direction is more compressed than that in the vertical direction, in such a manner that a magnification for resizing in the horizontal direction is made larger than a magnification for resizing in the vertical direction. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The display control apparatus according to claim 7, wherein, in the first processing, the control unit clips a portion including a central area of the first image data by clipping a part of the first image data in the horizontal direction. ### Claim 10 (depends on 6) The display control apparatus according to claim 6, wherein, in the second resize processing, a display image is generated by performing resize processing on the first image data, with first processing for clipping a part of the first image data not being performed. ### Claim 11 (depends on 6) The display control apparatus according to claim 6, wherein a display image resized in the second resize processing is displayed with a predetermined aspect ratio by a band area being displayed on the display image. ### Claim 12 (depends on 6) The display control apparatus according to claim 6, wherein, in the second resize processing, the control unit performs control to compress the first image data in the vertical direction, without compressing the first image data in the horizontal direction. ### Claim 13 A method for controlling a display control apparatus comprising: acquiring a captured image; switching between first shooting and second shooting different from the first shooting, the first shooting being shooting in which at least one of a condition that a recording resolution is greater than or equal to a predetermined resolution and a condition that a shooting frame rate is greater than or equal to a predetermined frame rate is satisfied; and performing control to display an image on a display unit in such a manner that, in the second shooting, the image to be displayed on the display unit is reduced to a smaller size in a case where a frame display setting is ON than in a case where the frame display setting is OFF, and, in the first shooting, the image to be displayed on the display unit in the case where the frame display setting is ON is not reduced to a size smaller than that of the image to be displayed on the display unit in the case where the frame display setting is OFF, the frame display setting being a display setting for information. ### Claim 14 A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to function as an acquisition unit, a switching unit and a control unit of a display control apparatus, wherein the acquisition unit is configured to acquire a captured image, the switching unit is configured to switch between first shooting and second shooting different from the first shooting, the first shooting being shooting in which at least one of a condition that a recording resolution is greater than or equal to a predetermined resolution and a condition that a shooting frame rate is greater than or equal to a predetermined frame rate is satisfied, and the control unit is configured to perform control to display an image on a display unit in such a manner that, in the second shooting, the image to be displayed on the display unit is reduced to a smaller size in a case where a frame display setting is ON than in a case where the frame display setting is OFF, and, in the first shooting, the image to be displayed on the display unit in the case where the frame display setting is ON is not reduced to a size smaller than that of the image to be displayed on the display unit in the case where the frame display setting is OFF, the frame display setting being a display setting for information.
