Abstract

The invention provides an imaging device, display control method, and program for enabling the user to instinctively confirm all the selectable setting values used as setting for imaging and the operation to select a target set value. Each time a toggle button is pressed down, an image (51) indicating a ''macro mode'' (set value) which is one of close-up imaging modes, an image (52) indicating a ''magnifier mode'' (set value), and an image (53) indicating OFF (set value) of a close-up imaging mode are sequentially displayed in order of attention each time the toggle button is pressed down. An outline arrow indicating the order of attention is also shown each time the toggle button is pressed down between two of the images (51 to 53). When the user presses down the toggle button once, the positions of all the images are changed. With this the image given attention is changed. The present invention can be applied to a device having an imaging function.

Description
