  • Image capturing apparatus, method of controlling the same, and non-transitory computer readable storage medium for calculating a depth width for an object area based on depth information
    Patent number: 11178337
    Abstract: An apparatus having a focusing unit for focusing in relation to an area within an angle of view, detects, from a captured image, an object area in which a specific object is present, calculates a depth width for the object area based on depth information indicating a defocus distance to an object for each portion obtained by dividing the image, and controls a display so as to, if the depth width is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, superimposedly display, on the image, an object detection frame for indicating the object area and an AF frame for indicating an AF location that the focusing unit uses, and, if the depth width is less than a predetermined value, superimposedly display the object detection frame, and not superimposedly display the AF frame.
