Abstract

An imaging apparatus that can be mounted with at least one battery, for capturing an object image to generate image data, includes: an operation member configured to receive an operation of a user; a display configured to display information on a setting of the imaging apparatus; and a processor configured to control the display based on a user operation input to the operation member, wherein the imaging apparatus has a plurality of functions to be executed using power of the battery, and the processor causes the display to display attention information indicating whether the plurality of functions include an inexecutable function due to an insufficient remaining capacity of the battery, when a predetermined operation is input to the operation member in a state where the plurality of functions are not executed.

Claims (32)

1. An imaging apparatus that can be mounted with at least one battery, for capturing an object image to generate image data, the imaging apparatus comprising:

a user interface configured to input an operation of a user;

a display configured to display information on a setting of the imaging apparatus; and

a processor configured to control the display based on the user operation input to the user interface, wherein

the imaging apparatus has a plurality of functions to be executed using power of the battery, and

the processor causes the display to display attention information including a list of functions showing presence or absence of an inexecutable function in the plurality of functions due to an insufficient remaining capacity of the battery, when a predetermined operation is input to the user interface in a state where the plurality of functions are not executed.

2. The imaging apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the attention information lists the inexecutable function that is not executable based on a capacity of the battery remaining when the predetermined operation is input.

3. The imaging apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein

the attention information presents a function that is executable with the remaining capacity of the battery, instead of the inexecutable function based on the remaining capacity.

4. The imaging apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein

the user interface receives a selection operation for selecting whether or not to use a presented function instead of the inexecutable function based on the remaining capacity of the battery, and

the processor controls a setting of the imaging apparatus in accordance with the selection operation.

5. The imaging apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the attention information is information for confirming whether or not to use, instead of the inexecutable function based on a capacity of the battery remaining when the predetermined operation is input, a function that is executable with the remaining capacity, and

the processor controls a setting of the imaging apparatus in accordance with an operation for selecting whether or not to use the function that is executable in the attention information.

6. The imaging apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the predetermined operation is an operation for checking information on the remaining capacity of the battery.

7. The imaging apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the attention information includes a remaining capacity of an individual battery in the at least one battery.

8. The imaging apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the at least one battery includes a first battery and a second battery, and

the display displays an icon indicating a remaining capacity of the first battery without displaying a remaining capacity of the second battery when displaying the object image.

9. The imaging apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein

the first battery is provided inside the imaging apparatus, and

the second battery is provided to an external device attached to the imaging apparatus.

10. An imaging apparatus that can be mounted with at least one battery, for capturing an object image to generate image data, the imaging apparatus comprising:

a user interface configured to input an operation of a user;

a display configured to display information on a setting of the imaging apparatus; and

a processor configured to control the display based on the user operation input to the user interface, wherein

the imaging apparatus has a plurality of functions to be executed using power of the battery, and

the processor causes the display to display attention information including a list of functions among the plurality of functions which are executable based on a remaining capacity of the battery, and/or a list of functions among the plurality of functions which are inexecutable based on a remaining capacity of the battery, when a predetermined operation is input to the user interface in a state where the plurality of functions are not executed.
