Abstract: An image pickup device includes a display unit that includes a plurality of display areas, a display control unit that controls the display unit so that an image displayed in one of the plurality of display areas is changed from a live view image to an image obtained by an image pickup unit in accordance with a shooting instruction when a first reception unit has received the shooting instruction and so that an image displayed in a display area specified by a display position changing instruction is changed to a live view image when a second reception unit has received the display position changing instruction, and an image process unit that synthesizes image data of a plurality of images being displayed in the plurality of display areas and generates image data of a combined image in which the plurality of images are laid out as displayed in the display unit.

Abstract: A shooting device includes: a display unit which is provided with a plurality of display areas; an image pickup unit which acquires an image by capturing a subject; a display control unit which controls the display unit so that an image displayed in a display area in a plurality of display areas is changed from a live view image to an image acquired by the image pickup unit at the shoot instruction when a shoot instruction is received, and an image displayed on the display area specified by the cancel instruction is changed to a specified image when the cancel instruction that specifies the display area is received; and a combined image processing unit which combines image data of the plurality of images displayed on the plurality of display areas, and generates image data of a combined image which is laid out as being displayed on the display unit.

Abstract: An image processing method includes generating a composite image of a selected image and sub-images. The selected image is an image selected from a plurality of images obtained by shooting a subject. The sub-images are images other than the selected image selected from the plurality of images. The sub-images are distinguishable from the selected image.

Abstract: A content playback device 1 displays a content list displayed on a display unit 2 in a first display mode in which list words are identical in size to each other and list buttons are identical in size to each other if a speed of scrolling for the content list is lower than a threshold. If the speed of the scrolling for the content list is equal to or higher than the threshold, the content playback device 1 displays the content list in a second display mode in which list words and list buttons arranged at the middle of the content list are displayed to be larger in size than those displayed in the first display mode with list words and list buttons being gradually reduced in size from the middle to each of the upward and downward directions.

Abstract: A start position and an end position of a sliding operation along a direction in which the main subject moves in the video image is detected respectively as a first position and a second position. It is controlled so as to play a video image over a range between the first position and the second position. The video image constituted with the plurality of images starting with the first image and ending with the second image is played along a forward direction if the first image with the main subject at the first position precedes the second image with the main subject at the second position, and the video image constituted with the plurality of images starting with the first image and ending with the second image is played along a reverse direction if the first image follows the second image.

Abstract: An image processing device lays out a plurality of images to generate image data of a combined image, and includes: a feature value calculation unit which calculates from an image configuring the combined image a feature value indicating a feature of the image; an image correction unit which corrects the image whose feature value is calculated so that the feature value calculated by the feature value calculation unit approaches a target feature value; and a combined image generation unit which generates image data of the combined image by combining image data of the plurality of images including the image corrected by the image correction unit.
