Abstract
An image capture control apparatus that comprises an operation member configured to accept an MF operation that is an instructional operation for manual focus, and that switches a display magnification of a live view to one of a plurality of display magnifications including a first magnification and a second magnification that represents a greater enlargement than the first magnification, performs control to display a guide indicating a degree of focus at a focus detection position, and performs control to, when the live view is displayed at the second magnification, switch the live view to display at the first magnification and display the guide together with the live view at the first magnification if the MF operation is performed.
Claims12
An image capture control apparatus comprising:
- an operation member configured to accept an MF operation that is an instructional operation for manual focus;
- and
- a memory and at least one processor and/or at least one circuit which function as
- a switching unit configured to switch a display magnification of a live view to one of a plurality of display magnifications including a first magnification and a second magnification that represents a greater enlargement than the first magnification,
- a display control unit configured to perform control to display a guide indicating a degree of focus at a focus detection position, and
- a control unit configured to perform control to, when the live view is displayed at the second magnification, switch the live view to display at the first magnification and display the guide together with the live view at the first magnification if the MF operation is performed.
A method of controlling an image capture control apparatus having an operation member configured to accept an MF operation that is an instructional operation for manual focus, the method comprising:
- switching a display magnification of a live view to one of a plurality of display magnifications including a first magnification and a second magnification that represents a greater enlargement than the first magnification;
- performing control to display a guide indicating a degree of focus at a focus detection position;
- and
- performing control to, when the live view is displayed at the second magnification, switch the live view to display at the first magnification and display the guide together with the live view at the first magnification if the MF operation is performed.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that causes a computer to function as a switching unit, a display control unit and a control unit of an image capture control apparatus comprising an operation member configured to accept an MF operation that is an instructional operation for manual focus, wherein
- the switching unit is configured to switch a display magnification of a live view to one of a plurality of display magnifications including a first magnification and a second magnification that represents a greater enlargement than the first magnification,
- the display control unit is configured to perform control to display a guide indicating a degree of focus at a focus detection position, and
- the control unit is configured to perform control to, when the live view is displayed at the second magnification, switch the live view to display at the first magnification and display the guide together with the live view at the first magnification if the MF operation is performed.
