Display control apparatus capable of performing display control for display apparatus with variable orientation, control method therefor, and storage medium

A display control apparatus comprising:

• at least one processor or circuit configured to function as:
• an obtainment unit capable of obtaining a captured image, and
• a control unit that performs control to display the captured image on a display device,
• wherein
• the control unit performs control to,
• when the orientation of the display device is horizontal, display a first item and a second item in a region surrounding the captured image, in such a manner that the captured image is placed between the first item and the second item, and
• when the orientation of the display device is vertical, display the first item and the second item in a region which does not surround the captured image and which is different from the captured image, in such a manner that the first item and the second item neighbor each other

A method of controlling a display control apparatus comprising:

• obtaining a captured image;
• controlling the captured image to be displayed on a display device;
• and
• detecting an orientation of the display device,
• wherein
• in the controlling, control is performed to,
• when the orientation of the display device detected in the detecting is horizontal, display the captured image in a first size on the display device,
• further display a first item in a first region located along a first side of the display device, and
• display a second item in a second region located along a second side of the display device, and
• when the orientation of the display device is vertical, display the captured image in the first size on the display device, and
• further display the first item and the second item in the same region.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a method of controlling a display control apparatus, the method comprising:

• obtaining a captured image;
• controlling the captured image to be displayed on a display device;
• and
• detecting an orientation of the display device,
• wherein
• in the controlling, control is performed to,
• when the orientation of the display device detected in the detecting is horizontal, display the captured image in a first size on the display device,
• further display a first item in a first region located along a first side of the display device, and
• display a second item in a second region located along a second side of the display device, and
• when the orientation of the display device is vertical, display the captured image in the first size on the display device, and
