Imaging apparatus for generating composite image using directional indicator image, and method and recording medium with program recorded therein for the same

摘要

An imaging apparatus include a display section, a capturing section which captures an image at a first viewing angle, a capturing control section which performs a plurality of capturing operations by the capturing section, a generation section which generates a composite image reproducing an image captured at a second viewing angle that is wider than the first viewing angle by combining a plurality of images acquired by the plurality of capturing operations by the capturing control section, and a display control section which displays the composite image generated by the generation section on the display section.

1. An image capturing apparatus comprising:
an image sensor which sequentially captures an object and sequentially outputs plural pieces of image data while the image sensor is being moved in a predetermined direction; and a CPU which is configured to: perform first display control to display, on a display, a processing area for generating composite image data to be generated from the plural pieces of image data output by the image sensor, wherein the processing area shows a predetermined range to be overwritten with the composite image data; judge whether a specific position of a photographing range of the image sensor is within the processing area in a state in which another part of the photographing range which does not include the specific position is within the processing area; and perform second display control to display, on the display, a directional indicator image indicating a direction to return the specific position of the photographing range to the processing area when it is judged that the specific position of the photographing range is not within the processing area in the state in which said another part of the photographing range which does not include the specific position is within the processing area, wherein the directional indicator image is displayed so as to be superimposed on the processing area.
