Information processing apparatus, method, and computer-readable storage medium for controlling captured image display

A display control method, comprising:

• acquiring captured image data;
• recognizing a subject of a captured image based on said captured image data;
• acquiring recommended composition data that represents recommended composition about said subject;
• displaying on a display unit a screen that includes said captured image, a frame representing said subject, and information about said recommended composition;
• causing a simultaneous change in displacement, rotation, or size of said frame corresponding to a change in said subject;
• and
• fixing and displaying said frame on said screen when the composition of said captured image is similar to said recommended composition, wherein said displaying said screen on said display unit is performed when recognizing that a shooting preparation is carried out through an operation unit, where said screen includes said frame and information about said recommended composition, wherein
• said frame representing said subject serves as a recommended composition frame based on said information about said recommended composition;
• said screen includes an area out of said recommended composition frame and the brightness of said area is lowered;
• and
• said brightness of said area out of said recommended composition frame is restored to a previous level after passing a predetermined time from the display of said recommended composition frame.

A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that, when executed by an information processing apparatus, causes the information processing apparatus to perform a method, the method comprising:

• acquiring captured image data;
• recognizing a subject of a captured image based on said captured image data;
• acquiring recommended composition data that represents a recommended composition of said subject;
• displaying a screen including said captured image, a frame of said subject, and information about said recommended composition on a display unit;
• and
• causing a simultaneous change in displacement, rotation, or size of said frame corresponding to a change in said subject;
• and
• fixing and displaying said frame on said screen when the composition of said captured image is similar to said recommended composition, wherein said displaying said screen is performed when recognizing that a shooting preparation is carried out through an operation unit, where said screen includes said frame and information about said recommended composition, wherein
• said frame representing said subject serves as a recommended composition frame based on said information about said recommended composition;
• said screen includes an area out of said recommended composition frame and the brightness of said area is lowered;
• and
• said brightness of said area out of said recommended composition frame is restored to a previous level after passing a predetermined time from the display of said recommended composition frame.
