Imaging Control Apparatus Switching Live View Display States
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing camera technologies do not allow for easy confirmation of the entire live view image composition after horizontal adjustment, limiting operability and shutter timing determination.
Innovation Solution
An imaging control apparatus and method that switches between a live view display state with two separate areas enlarged and a state displaying the entire imaging area, allowing users to toggle between these views with good operability using a display control unit and operation unit.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If 2-area enlargement display is performed to enable accurate horizontal adjustment, then measurement precision is improved, but the ability to confirm entire image composition is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The display mode is made dynamically switchable between 2-area enlargement display and entire live view display. The control unit allows users to toggle between these modes based on operational needs, enabling accurate horizontal adjustment when needed while preserving the ability to review overall composition when required.
2Ease of operation
If 2-area enlargement display is used for horizontal adjustment, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases due to multiple display modes
Solution Approach 1:
The display unit serves multiple functions by being capable of both 2-area enlargement display for precise horizontal adjustment and entire live view display for composition review. This multi-functionality is controlled through a control unit that manages different display modes, allowing a single device to handle multiple operational requirements without requiring separate systems.

AI summary
A method for switching between a live view display state where two separate areas are enlarged and a live view display state where the entire imaging area is displayed, with good operability. In response to a first operation on a first operation unit in a state of 2-area enlargement display for displaying live view images respectively captured in two horizontally or vertically separated imaging areas, side by side, control is performed to cancel the 2-area enlargement display and display an entire live view image captured by the imaging unit. In response to a second operation on the first operation unit, control is performed to resume the 2-area enlargement display.
