Imaging apparatus having optical zoom mechanism, viewing angle correction method therefor, and storage medium

摘要

In the present invention, when a backlash control operation is being performed, the position of a zoom lens at the time of image capturing and the captured image are stored in association with each other. Subsequently, an image processing section trims the periphery of the captured image in accordance with the focal length of a target position (WIDE end) and the focal length of the position of the zoom lens associated with the captured image, and enlarges the trimmed image to a normal size (size for use in a live view or a size of the image before being trimmed). Then, a display section displays the image subjected to the image processing as a live view image.

主权项

1. An imaging apparatus having an optical zoom mechanism, comprising:
an imaging section; a correcting section which corrects a viewing angle of an image captured by the imaging section in accordance with a difference between a current position and a target position of a zoom lens obtained when a zoom operation of the optical zoom mechanism is performed; a display section which displays the image corrected by the correcting section; and a backlash control section which, when stopping the zoom lens, which is being moved in a predetermined direction, at a predetermined target position, performs a backlash control operation in which the zoom lens is moved by an extra distance and then returned back to the predetermined target position, wherein the correcting section corrects the viewing angle of the image captured by the imaging section in accordance with a backlash amount that is the difference between the current position and the target position of the zoom lens when the backlash control operation is being performed.
