  • Patent number: 9621790
    Abstract: In the present invention, a control section determines the type of a touch operation performed on a touch panel during review display that is performed in a display section (monitor screen) for a predetermined amount of time after an image is captured by an imaging section, and performs type-specific processing according to the determined type on the image being review displayed. For example, when a slide operation is performed as a touch operation on the touch panel, the control section determines the slide direction as the type of the operation and performs type-specific processing based on the slide direction (direction-specific processing).
