  • Patent number: 10659696
    Abstract: A display control device of the invention accepts a predetermined operation of switching an image to an image moved by a predetermined number of images among multiple images arranged in predetermined order. When a single-image that is not one of group images is displayed on a display unit of the display control device and single-images are arranged from the currently displayed image to an image moved by a predetermined number of images, the image moved by the predetermined number of images is acquired in accordance with a predetermined operation. When one of group images is displayed on the display unit and the group images are arranged within the predetermined number of images, a process of acquiring an image arranged beyond the group images without displaying images included in the group images is performed in accordance with a predetermined operation. Next, the acquired image is displayed on the display unit.

  • Patent number: 10389945
    Abstract: A set magnification of a magnified view during imaging standby and a set magnification of a magnified view in an AF-plus-MF mode are compared to determine whether the magnification of the magnified view during imaging standby is higher than the magnification of the magnified view in the AF-plus-MF mode. As a result of the determination, if the magnification of the magnified view during imaging standby is lower than or equal to the magnification of the magnified view in the AF-plus-MF mode, a live-view image is displayed at a magnification equal to the magnification set for the AF-plus-MF mode. If the magnification of the magnified view during imaging standby is higher than the magnification of the magnified view in the AF-plus-MF mode, the live-view image is displayed at a magnification equal to the magnification at which the live-view image has been displayed during imaging standby.
