Abstract

An image capturing apparatus comprises a first image capturing unit, a second image capturing unit that is different from the first image capturing unit, and a control unit configured to perform control such that a second live image captured by the second image capturing unit is superimposed and displayed on a first live image captured by the first image capturing unit, wherein if first information is to be displayed on a display unit along with the first live image and the second live image, the control unit controls to switch a display state in which the first information is superimposed on the second live image or a display state in which the first information is displayed behind the second live image, according to a state of a predetermined function for shooting.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an imaging device with multiple imaging units and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] In recent mobile phones and smartphones, a camera (sub-camera) that captures the photographer himself or a subject on the photographer's side (sub-camera) is installed together with a normal camera (main camera) that captures the subject seen by the photographer. Furthermore, by installing a main camera and a sub camera, a so-called simultaneous shooting function is realized in which the main camera and the sub camera simultaneously perform photography, and images captured by these cameras are synthesized and recorded. When using the simultaneous shooting function, the user can check the expression of the photographer in combination with the composition of the subject, etc., while viewing the live view images of the main camera and the sub camera, and perform shooting. [0003] Generally, an image obtained by the simultane...
