  • Patent number: 11190696
    Abstract: An electronic device displays an operation screen for remotely adjusting a field of view (FOV) of an external image capture apparatus. The operation screen comprises a field-of-view user interface (FOV-UI) that includes an indication of a current field of view of the image capture apparatus and an indication of a maximum field of view at a current orientation of the image capture apparatus. The electronic device updates the FOV-UI based on information acquired from the image capture apparatus.

  • Patent number: 11070734
    Abstract: An image pickup apparatus that is capable of taking and editing a content with satisfactory operability while holding a grip. The image pickup apparatus includes a display unit, a grip, an operation unit including a touch operation member extending in a slide direction for a slide operation that designates one of taken contents, a first instruction member to take, and a second instruction member to retake, and a controller that changes a display content on the display unit according to a slide operation to the touch operation member. The operation unit is provided between the grip and the display unit in a perpendicular direction to the slide direction. The first and second instruction members are provided between the touch operation member and the grip in the perpendicular direction. The first and second instruction members are respectively provided near one end and the other end of the touch operation member.
