Imaging device, electronic viewfinder, and display control method

摘要

An imaging device of the present invention comprises a storage section for holding an initial white point of a display panel, a calculation section for calculating target white point of the display panel based on light source information for the shooting environment, a determination section for making a white point range corresponding to an adaptive light source range, and determining whether or not the initial white point or the target white point are outside the adaptive tracking range, and a display control section for carrying out controls so as to change white point of the display panel over time from the initial white point to the target white point, wherein, in the event that the initial white point or the target white point is outside the adaptive tracking range, a new initial white point or a new target white point is calculated so as to be within the adaptive range.

主权项

1. An imaging device, having an electronic viewfinder with which it is possible to view an image displayed on a display section through an eyepiece, comprising:
a storage section for previously holding an initial white point of a display panel of the electronic viewfinder, a calculation section for calculating target white point of the display panel of the electronic viewfinder based on light source information for the shooting environment, an eye proximity detection section for detecting whether or not the user's eye is close to the electronic viewfinder, a determination section for making a white point range corresponding to an adaptive light source range, which is a light source range in which the user can recognize a white object as being white, an adaptive tracking range, and previously designating that adaptive tracking range, and determining whether or not the initial white point or the target white point are outside the adaptive tracking range, and a display control section for, in the event that the user's eye has been detected by the eye proximity detection section, after commencing display for the display panel of the electronic viewfinder at the initial white point, carrying out control to change the white point of the electronic viewfinder display panel from the initial white point over time, so as to become the target white point, wherein in the event that is has been determined by the determination section that the initial white point or the target white point is outside the adaptive tracking range, the calculation section calculates a new initial white point or a new target white point so as to be within the adaptive range.
