IMAGE CAPTURING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING IMAGE CAPTURING DEVICE

摘要

An object of the invention is to display image data generated based on output data of an image capturing sensor and information other than such image data in a period of the same length as a frame image capturing period of the image capturing sensor. With the invention, image data showing an image of an object is generated per line of a display section based on output data of an image capturing sensor, display data including the image data is caused to be displayed on a first display region of a display screen of the display section constructed by the first display region and a second display region with a line display period having a length of “a” or more to “b” or less after the image data of a plurality of lines is stored in the buffer, and display data that does not include the image data is caused to be displayed on the second display region with a line display period having a length of “a”. “a” refers to a shortest length of the line display period of the display section in which a frame rate as display capability is higher than the frame rate of the image capturing sensor. Length “a” is shorter than “b” that refers to a maximum length of a period for generating image data of one line in a case where the image capturing sensor is operated at the image capturing sensor frame rate.

主权项

1. An image capturing device, comprising:
an image data generation section that generates image data showing an image of an object per line of a display section based on output data of an image capturing sensor for capturing an image of an object; a buffer that has capacity to store the generated image data of a plurality of lines; and a display control section that causes display data including the image data to be displayed on a first display region of a display screen of the display section constructed by the first display region and a second display region with a line display period having a length of “a” or more to “b” or less after the image data of a plurality of lines is stored in the buffer, and causes display data that does not include the image data to be displayed on the second display region with a line display period having a length of “a”, “a” referring to a shortest length of the line display period of the display section in which a frame rate as display capability is higher than a frame rate of the image capturing sensor, and “a” being shorter than “b” that refers to a maximum length of a period for generating image data of one line in a case where the image capturing sensor is operated at the image capturing sensor frame rate.
