Abstract
A display control apparatus having a connecting portion communicably connected to an imaging apparatus obtains an inclination angle of the imaging apparatus, and displays a displayed item on a display unit based on the obtained inclination angle. At this time, the display control apparatus performs control for displaying the displayed item indicating an inclination angle whose positive and negative have been inverted relative to positive and negative of the obtained inclination angle.
Claims17
A system in which an imaging apparatus is connected to a display control apparatus that controls a second display unit,
- the imaging apparatus comprising:
- a detection unit configured to detect an inclination of the imaging apparatus;
- a first display unit configured to display an image captured by the imaging apparatus;
- and
- a first display control unit configured to cause a reference line indicating a horizontal or vertical direction to be displayed together with the image displayed on the display unit, the first display control unit causing the reference line rotated in accordance with the inclination of the imaging apparatus detected by the detection unit to be displayed,
- the display control apparatus comprising:
- an obtaining unit configured to obtain information on the inclination of the imaging apparatus and the image captured by the imaging apparatus;
- and
- a second display control unit configured to cause a reference line rotated in accordance with the information on the inclination of the imaging apparatus to be displayed on the second display unit together with the image captured by the imaging apparatus,
- on the second display unit so as to be rotated in an opposite direction to a rotational direction of the reference line to be displayed on the first display unit.
A display control apparatus communicably connected to an imaging apparatus including a display unit that displays a captured image, the imaging apparatus detecting an inclination of the imaging apparatus, and causing a reference line indicating a horizontal or vertical direction to be rotated based on the detected inclination and displayed together with the captured image on the display unit,
- the display control apparatus comprising:
- an obtaining unit configured to obtain information on the inclination of the imaging apparatus and the image captured by the imaging apparatus;
- and
- a display control unit configured to perform control for causing the image captured by the imaging apparatus and a reference line rotated based on the information on the inclination obtained by the obtaining unit to be displayed on a display unit in the display control apparatus,
- wherein the display control unit causes the reference line to be displayed, the reference line being rotated in an opposite direction to the rotational direction of the reference line displayed on the display unit in the imaging apparatus.
A display control apparatus that is connected to an imaging apparatus including a first display unit configured to display a display item rotated in accordance with an inclination of the imaging apparatus, the display control apparatus comprising:
- an obtaining unit configured to obtain an inclination of the imaging apparatus;
- and
- a display control unit configured to display a display item rotated in accordance with inclination of imaging apparatus on a second display unit,
- wherein the display control unit causes the display item to be displayed, the display item being rotated in an opposite direction to the rotational direction of the display item displayed on the first display unit in the imaging apparatus.
A method for controlling a system in which an imaging apparatus is connected to a display control apparatus that controls a second display unit,
- the method comprising, in the imaging apparatus;
- a detecting step of detecting an inclination of the imaging apparatus;
- a first displaying step of displaying an image captured by the imaging apparatus;
- and
- a first display control step of causing a reference line indicating a horizontal or vertical direction to be displayed together with the image displayed in the displaying step, the first display control step comprising causing the reference line rotated in accordance with the inclination of the imaging apparatus detected in the detecting step to be displayed,
- and comprising, in the display control apparatus;
- an obtaining step of obtaining information on the inclination of the imaging apparatus and the image captured by the imaging apparatus;
- and
- a second display control step of causing a reference line rotated in accordance with the information on the inclination of the imaging apparatus to be displayed on the second display together with the image captured by the imaging apparatus,
- wherein in the second display control step, the reference line is caused to be displayed so as to be rotated in an opposite direction to a rotational direction of the reference line displayed in the first display control step.
A method for controlling a display control apparatus communicably connected to an imaging apparatus including a display unit that displays a captured image, the imaging apparatus detecting an inclination of the imaging apparatus, and causing a reference line indicating a horizontal or vertical direction to be rotated based on the detected inclination and displayed together with the captured image on the display unit, the control method of a display control apparatus comprising:
- an obtaining step of obtaining information on the inclination of the imaging apparatus and the image captured by the imaging apparatus;
- and
- a display control step of performing control for causing the image captured by the imaging apparatus and a reference line rotated based on the information on the inclination obtained in the obtaining step to be displayed on a display unit in the display control apparatus,
- wherein in the display control step, the reference line rotated in an opposite direction to a rotational direction of the reference line displayed on the display unit in the imaging apparatus is caused to be displayed.
A method for controlling a display control apparatus that is connected to an imaging apparatus including a first display unit configured to display a display item rotated in accordance with an inclination of the imaging apparatus, the method comprising:
- an obtaining step of obtaining an inclination of the imaging apparatus;
- and
- a display control step of displaying a display item rotated in accordance with inclination of imaging apparatus on a second display unit
- wherein the display control step causes the display item to be displayed, the display item being rotated in an opposite direction to the rotational direction of the display item displayed on the display unit in the imaging apparatus.
