  • Patent number: 11127113
    Abstract: A display control apparatus to display a display object on a display unit includes a display control unit to perform control. In a case where a predetermined operation is started while the display object is displayed on the display unit at a first magnification, the display control unit performs control to provide a display indicating an enlargement area of the display object based on the information about the enlargement position stored in the storage unit without changing a display magnification of the display object and then provide an enlarged display of the enlargement area of the display object based on the information about the enlargement position stored in the storage unit, even without the predetermined operation being newly started. The enlarged display is enlarged at more than the first magnification.

  • Patent number: 10419678
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 9632613
    Abstract: When an item is selected with a touch from an item list, if display of a guidance is set to ON, the item is selected by a first touch and the guidance is displayed to view another item. A determination operation is performed by a second touch to the same item. If the display of the guidance is set to OFF, a determination operation of an touched item is performed by the first touch without displaying the guidance. Thus, when it is set that the guidance is not displayed, inconvenience that a user needs to touch the same option twice even the guidance display is not required to shift a screen to a sub-screen can be eliminated, and increase of troublesomeness for a shift operation to the sub-screen can be prevented.
