Imaging apparatus and image display control method for imaging apparatus

An imaging apparatus capable of imaging a subject using a plurality of imaging methods that are previously programmed, comprising:

• a touch panel monitor configured to provide an operation unit relating to imaging and a display unit for images obtained by imaging on the same screen;
• and
• a display control unit configured to control a display on the touch panel monitor;
• wherein the display control unit:
• displays a plurality of buttons corresponding to the plurality of imaging methods, respectively, on the operation unit in a previously programmed order;
• displays a first button corresponding to a first imaging method that has entered an imaging ready state among the plurality of buttons in a focused state by means of an imaging ready focus that indicates an imaging ready state;
• and
• when imaging by the first imaging method is completed, displays an image obtained by the relevant imaging on the display unit and cancels the imaging ready focus of the first button, and next causes the imaging ready focus to transition to a second button corresponding to a second imaging method that enters an imaging ready state and also displays the first button in a focused state by means of an image display focus that indicates that an image obtained by imaging by the first imaging method is being displayed on the display unit.
