Abstract
An image pickup apparatus of the present invention comprises an image obtaining part configured to photoelectrically convert a first object image and a second object image formed by light fluxes divided by a pupil divider among light fluxes from an image pickup optical system to generate a first image and a second image, a displaying part configured to display images, and a processing part configured to cause the displaying part to display a superimposed image formed by superimposing the first and second images on each other.
Claims18
An image pickup apparatus comprising:
- an image obtaining part configured to photoelectrically convert a first object image and a second object image formed by light fluxes divided by a pupil divider among light fluxes from an image pickup optical system to generate a first image and a second image;
- a displaying part configured to display images;
- and
- a processing part configured to cause the displaying part to display a superimposed image formed by superimposing the first and second images on each other.
An image pickup apparatus comprising:
- an image obtaining part configured to photoelectrically convert a first object image and a second object image formed by light fluxes divided by a pupil divider among light fluxes from an image pickup optical system to generate a first image and a second image, and photoelectrically converting a third object image formed by a light flux undivided by the pupil divider to generate a third image;
- a displaying part configured to displaying images;
- and
- a processing part configured to display one of areas of the third image displayed by the displaying part in which displacement amounts between the first and second object images are larger and smaller than a predetermined value by using a specific color.
An image pickup apparatus comprising:
- an image obtaining part configured to photoelectrically convert a first object image and a second object image formed by light fluxes divided by a pupil divider among light fluxes from an image pickup optical system to generate a first image and a second image, and photoelectrically converting a third object image formed by a light flux undivided by the pupil divider to generate a third image;
- a displaying part configured to display images;
- a first image generating part configured to generate a first focus guide image by using the first and second images;
- a second image generating part configured to generate a second focus guide image different from the first focus guide image by using one of the first and second images and the third image;
- and
- a controller configured to switch the first and second focus guide images to display the switched focus guide image by the displaying part.
An image displaying method for an image pickup apparatus including a displaying part, comprising the steps of:
- photoelectrically converting a first object image and a second object image formed by light fluxes divided by a pupil divider among light fluxes from an image pickup optical system to generate a first image and a second image, and photoelectrically converting a third object image formed by a light flux undivided by the pupil divider to generate a third image;
- and
- superimposing an image indicating a difference between two of the first, second and third images on the third image to display the superimposed image by the displaying part.
