[0111] 1. Overview of digital cameras

[0112] In the present embodiment, the digital camera 1 has a first mode and a second mode as operation modes. In the first mode, the operation member operated when selecting / determining setting items and setting information is set as the dial 231 . In the second mode, the cross key 232 is set as an operation member to be operated when selecting / determining setting items and setting information. Figure 15 (A) and (B) show operation members operable in each operation mode. That is, when the CPU 211 is set to the first mode, as Figure 15 The control shown in (A) is to select the setting item and setting information according to the operation of the dial 231. On the other hand, when the second mode is set, as Figure 15 The control shown in (B) is to select a setting item and setting information by operating the cross key 232 . Also, the setting information image for selecting the setting information is made different according to th...

Embodiment approach 3

[0139] The digital camera according to this embodiment changes the displayed setting information images 31 and 32 in accordance with the operating member actually operated when selecting and determining setting items. Specifically, when the operating member operated when selecting and determining a setting item is the dial 231, the first setting information image 31 in which the setting information is arranged in the left and right directions is displayed on the liquid crystal monitor 205 or the electronic viewfinder 206. . On the other hand, when the operating member operated when selecting and determining a setting item is the cross key 232, the second setting information in which the setting information is arranged vertically is displayed on the liquid crystal monitor 205 or the electronic viewfinder 206. Image 32.

[0140] In addition, the digital camera according to the present embodiment sets an operation member to be operated when determining a setting item as a member...

Abstract

An imaging apparatus is provided with a first display unit, a second display unit, and a controller for controlling displays of setting screens for changing various settings in the first and second display units. The controller controls the displays of the setting screens so that the setting screen displayed on the first display unit differs from the setting screen displayed on the second display unit. The setting screens include an image in which specified setting items and candidates of the setting values related to each setting item are arranged. The controller controls the displays of the setting screens so that the types of displayed setting items and candidates of the setting values are the same in the setting screen displayed on the first display unit and the setting screen displayed on the second display unit, an arranging directions of the setting items are the same, and an arranging directions of the candidates of the setting values differ.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image capture device that captures an image and generates image data, and more particularly relates to an image capture device that has a display unit and can display a setting screen for various settings on the display unit. Background technique [0002] A user can perform various settings for an image capture device such as a video camera or a digital still camera. Usually, setting is performed using a setting screen displayed on a display unit of an image capture device. [0003] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses an image capture device (video camera) capable of setting the image capture device while viewing a setting screen displayed on a display unit. The image capture device of Patent Document 1 includes: a manual adjustment unit (operating unit) provided so as to be freely accessible to the camera body; and a viewfinder that displays an image captured by a CCD and a setting screen for setting . The m...
