Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, in this method, since the focus lens must be moved in multiple stages, this movement increases the time required for photography.
In addition, it cannot be used in photography without lens movement
[0006] In addition, although the user intends to acquire a photographic image in which the subject of interest is in focus, the subject of interest may sometimes be blurred in the photographic image actually obtained.

Abstract

An image display apparatus includes a subject distance detection portion which detects a subject distance of each subject whose image is taken by an image taking portion, an output image generating portion which generates an image in which a subject positioned within a specific distance range is in focus as an output image from an input image taken by the image taking portion, and a display controller which extracts an in-focus region that is an image region in the output image in which region the subject positioned within the specific distance range appears based on a result of the detection by the subject distance detection portion, and controls a display portion to display a display image based on the output image so that the in-focus region can be visually distinguished.

Description

[0001] This application claims priority from Japanese Patent Application No. 2008-322221 filed on December 18, 2008, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0002] The present invention relates to an image display device for displaying an image based on a captured image, and an imaging device including the image display device. Background technique [0003] In an imaging device such as a digital camera equipped with an autofocus function, generally, optical autofocus control is performed to focus on a subject within an AF area, and then actual photographing processing is performed. The results of the autofocus control can often be checked on a display screen provided in the imaging device. However, in this method, the display screen installed on the imaging device may be small, so it may be difficult to recognize which part of the AF area is in focus, so the user may mistakenly confirm the area that is actually in focus (in other words, ...
