IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS CAPABLE OF DISPLAYING OPERATION ITEM, METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME, IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

摘要

An image processing apparatus which is capable of preventing the display of an operation item, such as an icon, from hindering user's viewing an image which the user desires to view. A distance and position-detecting section and a system controller detect a distance between a screen and an operation element. The system controller displays at least one operation candidate item on the screen when the detected distance becomes not larger than a first threshold distance. Further, when the detected distance becomes not larger than the first predetermined threshold distance, the system controller changes a display form of the operation candidate item depending on the detected distance and displays the operation candidate item as an operable item.
