Abstract
An apparatus includes an acquisition unit for acquiring a driving position of a capturing element which relates to tilt driving for changing a tilt angle formed between a surface of the capturing element and a main plane of an optical system by inclining the capturing element, a determination unit for determining whether the tilt angle exceeds a threshold based on the acquired driving position of the capturing element, and determining a user interface for operating a focus lens of the optical system based on a determination result.
Claims19
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the at least one processor storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to function as:
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire a driving position of a capturing element which relates to tilt driving for changing a tilt angle formed between a surface of the capturing element and a main plane of an optical system by inclining the capturing element;
- and
- a determination unit configured to determine whether the tilt angle exceeds a threshold based on the acquired driving position of the capturing element and configured to determine a user interface for operating a focus lens of the optical system based on a determination result,
- wherein, in a case where the determination unit determines that the tilt angle is less than or equal to the threshold, the determination unit determines a first user interface for operating the focus lens as the user interface, and
- wherein, in a case where the determination unit determines that the tilt angle exceeds the threshold, the determination unit determines a second user interface for operating the focus lens, different from the first user interface, as the user interface.
A method comprising:
- acquiring a driving position of a capturing element which relates to tilt driving for changing a tilt angle formed between an imaging surface of the capturing element and a main plane of an optical system by inclining the capturing element;
- determining whether the tilt angle exceeds a threshold based on the acquired driving position of the capturing element;
- and
- determining a user interface for operating a focus lens of the optical system based on a determination result,
- wherein, in a case where the determining determines that the tilt angle is less than or equal to the threshold, the determining determines a first user interface for operating the focus lens as the user interface, and
- wherein, in a case where the determining determines that the tilt angle exceeds the threshold, the determining determines a second user interface for operating the focus lens, different from the first user interface, as the user interface.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for executing a method, the method comprising:
- acquiring a driving position of a capturing element which relates to tilt driving for changing a tilt angle formed between an imaging surface of the capturing element and a main plane of an optical system by inclining the capturing element;
- determining whether the tilt angle exceeds a threshold based on the acquired driving position of the capturing element;
- and
- determining a user interface for operating a focus lens of the optical system based on a determination result,
- wherein, in a case where the determining determines that the tilt angle is less than or equal to the threshold, the determining determines a first user interface for operating the focus lens as the user interface, and
- wherein, in a case where the determining determines that the tilt angle exceeds the threshold, the determining determines a second user interface for operating the focus lens, different from the first user interface, as the user interface.
