IMAGING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM

摘要

The present invention is provided to maintain a photographable display state so as not to miss a photo opportunity when a photographer performs preparation work before shooting or confirmation work after shooting, and also smoothly switch to a display state in which the photographer can perform the confirmation work after shooting whenever necessary. A live view image is displayed on a first display screen when an eye contact state is detected at the eyepiece viewfinder, and a captured image is displayed on a second display screen when a non-eye-contact state is detected after receiving an image shooting instruction. When the eye contact state is not detected within a first period from detecting the non-eye-contact state, displaying the live view image on the first display screen is stopped. The live view image is displayed on the first display screen during the first period after detecting the non-eye-contact state.

主权项

1. An imaging apparatus including an imaging unit and an eyepiece viewfinder, comprising:
a detection unit configured to detect whether a state at the eyepiece viewfinder is an eye contact state; a first display unit configured to display a live view image on a first display screen disposed inside the eyepiece viewfinder when the eye contact state is detected at the eyepiece viewfinder; a second display unit configured to display a captured image on a second display screen disposed outside the eyepiece viewfinder when a non-eye-contact state is detected at the eyepiece viewfinder after receiving an image shooting instruction to record the captured image on a recording medium; and a first stopping unit configured to stop the first display unit from displaying the live view image when the eye contact state is not detected at the eyepiece viewfinder within a first period from detection of the non-eye-contact state at the eyepiece viewfinder after the captured image is displayed on the second display screen by the second display unit.
