Abstract
The control method includes determining whether a plurality of pupils can be included in a specific depth in a case where pupil information about the plurality of pupils of a same subject is acquired, and in a case where it is determined in the determining that the plurality of pupils of the same subject cannot be included in the specific depth, control is performed so that different indexes are displayed on a pupil within the specific depth and a pupil outside the specific depth.
Claims9
A display control apparatus comprising:
- at least one memory storing one or more programs;
- at least one processor that, upon execution of the one or more programs, is configured to operate as:
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire pupil information from an image obtained by an image capturing unit configured to capture a subject image obtained via an imaging optical system;
- a focus detection unit configured to detect a focus state of a subject;
- a display control unit configured to perform control to display an index on a display screen based on the pupil information acquired by the acquisition unit;
- and
- a determination unit configured to determine whether a plurality of pupils can be included in a specific depth in a case where pupil information about the plurality of pupils of a same subject is acquired by the acquisition unit,
- wherein, in a case where it is determined by the determination unit that the plurality of pupils of the same subject cannot be included in the specific depth, the display control unit performs control so that different indexes are displayed on a pupil within the specific depth and a pupil outside the specific depth.
A display control method comprising:
- acquiring pupil information from an image obtained by an image capturing unit configured to capture a subject image obtained via an imaging optical system;
- detecting a focus state of a subject;
- performing display control to display an index on a display screen based on the pupil information obtained in the acquiring;
- and
- determining whether a plurality of pupils can be included in a specific depth in a case where pupil information about the plurality of pupils of a same subject is acquired in the acquiring,
- wherein, in the performing display control, in a case where it is determined in the determining that the plurality of pupils of the same subject cannot be included in the specific depth, control is performed so that different indexes are displayed on a pupil within the specific depth and a pupil outside the specific depth.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a display control method, the display control method comprising:
- acquiring pupil information from an image obtained by an image capturing unit configured to capture a subject image obtained via an imaging optical system;
- detecting a focus state of a subject;
- performing display control to display an index on a display screen based on the pupil information obtained in the acquiring;
- and
- determining whether a plurality of pupils can be included in a specific depth in a case where pupil information about the plurality of pupils of a same subject is acquired in the acquiring,
- wherein, in the performing display control, in a case where it is determined in the determining that the plurality of pupils of the same subject cannot be included in the specific depth, control is performed so that different indexes are displayed on a pupil within the specific depth and a pupil outside the specific depth.
