  • Patent number: 7839446
    Abstract: An image-capturing apparatus has an optical system imparting distortion to an image of an object to be captured so that the distortion is imparted so that a central portion of the image is magnified and a peripheral portion is reduced; an image-processing circuit for compensating the distortion in the initial image data having first perspective angle established to the same initial image data and the distortion in the initial image data having second perspective angle which is different from the first perspective angle; and generating first image and second image that do not include the distortion corresponding to the first and second perspective angles; a finder for displaying at least one of the first and second images; and a display-control circuit having a simultaneous display mode which can display the first and the second images in a view in the finder simultaneously.

    Abstract: An image-capturing apparatus has an optical system imparting distortion to an image of an object to be captured so that the distortion is imparted so that a central portion of the image is magnified and a peripheral portion is reduced; an image sensor having an image-capturing elements having a receiving surface, onto which the image having the distortion is focused by the optical system, for converting the focused image including the distortion into initial image data and outputting thereof; an image-processing circuit for compensating the distortion in the initial image data having first perspective angle established to the same initial image data and the distortion in the initial image data having second perspective angle which is different from the first perspective angle; and generating first image and second image that do not include the distortion corresponding to the first and second perspective angles; a finder for displaying at least one of the first and second images; and a display-control circuit
