主权项

1. A camera apparatus comprising:
circuitry configured to generate an index display signal to display an index indicating a current focal position based on focal position information such that the index is displayed along a guideline path; generate a position marker display signal to display a position marker indicating a user registered focal position such that the position marker is placed along the guideline path associated with the index, wherein the user registered focal position is registered by a user operation that is independent of focus control; and acquire an image signal for a display by combining a captured image signal with the index display signal and the position marker display signal.
