Abstract: A display control apparatus enables a user to perform a touch operation more simply and easily on a screen including a first item permitting a setting change without screen transition and a second item permitting a setting change after transition of the screen to a different display screen. On a display screen with a plurality of items including the first item and the second item, when a touch-down operation is detected in an area of the first item while the first item is selected, the display control apparatus invalidates a move operation for selecting other items. On the other hand, when a touch-down operation is detected in an area of the second item while the second item is selected, the display control apparatus validates a move operation for selecting other items.

Abstract: An image pickup apparatus arranged to set a correction value for adjusting a focus position obtained by a predetermined detection method at a time of photographing, is arranged such that if a limitation processing is executed with respect to selection of an AF frame at the time of photographing, a display manner at the time of selection of an AF frame which is to be used when the correction value is set and stored is made different between a selectable AF frame and an unselectable AF frame or is made by applying the same limitation as the limitation processing at the time of photographing.

Abstract: When various kinds of information and various frames are superimposed on a displayed image of a subject during live view shooting, an object to be preferentially displayed is switched between the various kinds of information and the various frames in accordance with an overlapping state of the various kinds of information and the various frames if the various kinds of information overlap the various frames.

Abstract: A display control apparatus displays, when a user can select an item through a plurality of operation members, related information on a selected item at a timing that the user feels more comfortable according to an operation unit through which the user has selected the item. The display control apparatus includes a control unit for controlling a display unit to display, when an item among a plurality of the selectable items displayed on the display unit is selected in response to an operation different from a touching operation, related information on the selected item in response to the elapse of a first time period after the operation is performed, and when an item among the plurality of selectable items is selected in response to the touching operation, the related information on the selected item before the elapse of the first time period from when the touching operation is performed.

Abstract: When the display start instruction is received before an elapsed time since the immediately preceding display operation of the object was ended reaches a predetermined time, a range based on a display range, which was displayed on the display area at an end timing of the display operation, is decided as an initial display range. When the display start instruction is received after the elapsed time is the predetermined time or longer, a display range, which is decided based on predetermined criteria, is decided as an initial display range irrespective of the display range, which was displayed on the display area at the end timing of the display operation.

Abstract: When various kinds of information and various frames are superimposed on a displayed image of a subject during live view shooting, an object to be preferentially displayed is switched between the various kinds of information and the various frames in accordance with an overlapping state of the various kinds of information and the various frames if the various kinds of information overlap the various frames.

Abstract: An image pickup apparatus allows a user to quickly find a changed setting value in a list screen after the user changes the setting value of a desired setting item and returns to the list screen. When a rightward direction button is pressed with the list screen being displayed on a display unit, a setting screen of a drive mode is displayed. When a desired drive mode is selected in the setting screen by using a rightward or leftward direction button, an icon is displayed in a predetermined color for indicating selection. When the setting is activated by a set button, a highlight is displayed on the icon in order to indicate activation. After the highlight is displayed for a predetermined period of time, the screen is changed to the list screen, and the previously set drive mode is highlighted so that the user quickly recognizes the changed drive mode.

Abstract: An image sensing apparatus, an image sensing unit, an authentication data generating unit, a storing unit and a display unit. The image sensing unit generates image data. The authentication data generating unit generates authentication data used to authenticate whether the image data is altered. The storing unit stores an image file including the image data and the authentication data in a removable memory. The display unit displays both reduced image data obtained from the image file and a predetermined information, if the image file has the authentication data, wherein the predetermined information indicates that the image file has the authentication data.

Abstract: An image pickup apparatus enters an enlargement display mode (in which enlargement display processing of enlarging and displaying part of reduced image data for normal display is performed) from any other image display mode. The image pickup apparatus also performs enlargement display processing of enlarging and displaying part of reduced image data for normal display at a high speed. Furthermore, the image pickup apparatus starts enlargement display processing of enlarging and displaying part of reduced image data for normal display from the portion stored in the previous enlargement display processing.

Abstract: A portable electronic device includes a display unit which displays, simultaneously side by side, a plurality of main items aligned in one direction as the setting items of the portable electronic device and a plurality of sub items aligned in the one direction as the setting items of the lower layer of the main items, a first rotary dial which selects at least one of the plurality of main items, and a second rotary dial which selects at least one of the plurality of sub items. The first and second rotary dials are arranged while making their rotation axes parallel to each other and perpendicular to the one direction.

Abstract: An image sensing apparatus having a plurality of slots for inserting storage medium includes an interface for setting one or more recording slots for recording image data acquired by photography. In the setting of the recording slots, whether or not image data can be recorded to storage media in the recording slot or slots is detected, and the apparatus is controlled so that those slots for which recording to the storage media is not possible are not set as recording slots.

Abstract: This invention notifies a user whether authentication data is added to an image file. The invention determines whether authentication data is added to an image file corresponding to reduced image data displayed in a selection area (S202). If authentication data is added, mark 1 is displayed in area X (S203). If no authentication data is added, nothing is displayed in area X (S204).
