Abstract

An electronic apparatus includes: a converting unit that converts a first type of image into a converted image; a connecting unit that connects with an external apparatus; a setting unit that sets a connection mode; and a control unit that controls so that in a case where the connection is in a first connection mode, the first type of image is outputted from the connecting unit without converting the first type of image by the converting unit, and in a case where the connection is in a second connection mode, the first type of image is converted by the converting unit, and is outputted from the connecting unit, wherein source of the image to be outputted from the connecting unit can be switched from a second type of image to the first type of image, while maintaining the connection in the second connection mode.

Claims19

Dependent claims

An electronic apparatus, comprising a memory and at least one processor and/or at least one circuit to perform the operations of the following units:

a converting unit configured to convert a first type of image having a first gradation resolution into a converted image generated by converting a gradation resolution to a second gradation resolution which is higher than the first gradation resolution, and converting a gradation characteristic;
a connecting unit configured to connect with an external apparatus;
a setting unit configured to set a connection mode with the external apparatus to any of a plurality of connection modes, including a first connection mode in which an image having a gradation resolution which is not higher than the first gradation resolution is outputted, and a second connection mode in which an image having a gradation resolution which is higher than the first gradation resolution is outputted;
and
a control unit configured to control so that
in a case where the connection is in the first connection mode, the first type of image is outputted from the connecting unit without converting the first type of image by the converting unit, and
in a case where the connection is in the second connection mode, the first type of image is converted by the converting unit, and is outputted from the connecting unit,
wherein source of the image to be outputted from the connecting unit can be switched from a second type of image having a gradation resolution which is higher than the first gradation resolution to the first type of image, while maintaining the connection in the second connection mode.
