first embodiment

1. First Embodiment

[0026]A digital camera (an example of the imaging apparatus) according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 10. The digital camera is an imaging device capable of capturing a moving image and a still image.

[0027]The digital camera performs a synthesizing process on image data generated by a CCD image sensor based on a shooting instruction from a user. In parallel with the synthesizing process, the digital camera causes a through image 601 based on the image data captured by the CCD image sensor and information indicating progress situation of the synthesizing process (for example, a progress bar which changes its length according to the progress situation) 602 to be displayed on a liquid crystal display (LCD) monitor as illustrated in FIG. 5. Then, after completion of the image processing, the digital camera causes a review image based on the image data for recording generated by the synthesizing process to be displayed on the LCD monit...

Abstract

An imaging apparatus includes an image processor configured to apply image processing on image data to generate image data for recording, a display unit configured to display an image based on image data generated by an imaging unit, and a controller configured to control displaying of image on the display unit. The controller controls the image processor to apply image processing on the image data generated by the imaging unit based on a shooting instruction from a user, and causes an image based on the image data captured by the imaging unit and information indicating progress of the image processing to be displayed on the display unit in parallel with the image processing, and causes an image based on the image data for recording generated by the image processing to be displayed on the display unit after completion of the image processing.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]1. Technical Field[0002]The present disclosure relates to an imaging apparatus capable of displaying a through image on a display unit during a standby state.[0003]2. Related Art[0004]The imaging apparatus such as a digital camera is capable of displaying an image (through image) on a display unit such as a liquid crystal display (LCD) monitor based on image data captured by an imaging device in real time. A user can take an image by determining a composition and the like by viewing the through image.[0005]Some apparatuses are configured to temporarily display an image which is captured and subjected to image processing immediately after an image capturing operation, so that the user can confirm the captured image (this type of display is referred to as “review display”). Once the review display starts, the user cannot shoot the next image until display of the through image is restarted After completion of the review display.[0006]If the imaging apparatus can quickly...
