Abstract

An electronic apparatus of the present invention includes: an acquisition unit configured to acquire an image captured on any one of a plurality of conditions in a predetermined period; a display control unit configured to implement control so that a plurality of images acquired by the acquisition unit are classified into groups correspondingly to the plurality of conditions and displayed; and a selection unit configured to implement control so that an operation target image is selected in accordance with user operation from the plurality of images that are classified and displayed by the display control unit.

Claims (29)

1. An electronic apparatus comprising at least memory and at least one processor which function as:

an acquisition unit configured to acquire an image captured on any one of a plurality of conditions in a predetermined period;

a display control unit configured to implement control so that a plurality of images acquired by the acquisition unit are classified into groups correspondingly to the plurality of conditions and displayed; and

a selection unit configured to implement control so that an operation target image is selected in accordance with user operation from the plurality of images that are classified and displayed by the display control unit,

wherein in a case where the acquisition unit acquires a still image captured on any one of the plurality of conditions during capturing of a moving image in the predetermined period and in a case where the moving image is deleted, the display control unit implements control so that a plurality of still images, captured on any one of the plurality of conditions during capturing of the moving image, are classified into groups correspondingly to the plurality of conditions and displayed, and

the selection unit implements control so that a still image to be deleted or a still image to be saved is selected in accordance with user operation from the plurality of displayed still images.

2. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the selection unit implements control so that an image to be deleted or an image to be saved is selected in accordance with user operation.

3. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the display control unit implements control so that the acquired image is displayed after the predetermined period.

4. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein in a case where the plurality of images acquired by the acquisition unit are classified and displayed, the display control unit implements control so that information relating to a condition corresponding to each of the groups is displayed.

5. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the selection unit implements control so that images belonging to at least one group, out of the plurality of groups corresponding to the plurality of conditions, are selected, en bloc, as operation targets.

6. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising an evaluation unit configured, in a case where the image acquired by the acquisition unit has been selected as an image to be saved, to attach evaluation information, which is inputted by a user, to the image selected as the image to be saved.

7. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein in a case where the images acquired by the acquisition unit are classified into groups correspondingly to the plurality of conditions and displayed, the display control unit implements control so that the images in the group are rearranged and displayed in accordance with user operation.

8. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a transmission unit configured to transmit to an external apparatus an image selected by the selection unit as an image to be saved.

9. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein in a case where a saved image is deleted, the selection unit implements control so that an image to be deleted or an image to be saved is selected from images, the image capturing periods of which or the automatic image capturing conditions of which are identical to that of the saved image.

10. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the image captured on any one of the plurality of conditions in the predetermined period is a still image or a moving image.

11. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one imaging unit,

wherein the acquisition unit is configured to acquire an image captured by the at least one imaging unit on any one of the plurality of conditions in the predetermined period.

12. A control method for an electronic apparatus, the method comprising:

an acquisition step of acquiring an image captured on any one of a plurality of conditions in a predetermined period;

a display control step of implementing control so that a plurality of images acquired in the acquisition step are classified into groups correspondingly to the plurality of conditions and displayed; and

a selection step of implementing control so that an operation target image is selected in accordance with user operation from the plurality of images that are classified and displayed in the display control step,

wherein in a case where the acquisition step acquires a still image captured on any one of the plurality of conditions during capturing of a moving image in the predetermined period and in a case where the moving image is deleted, the display control step implements control so that a plurality of still images, captured on any one of the plurality of conditions during capturing of the moving image, are classified into groups correspondingly to the plurality of conditions and displayed, and

the selection step implements control so that a still image to be deleted or a still image to be saved is selected in accordance with user operation from the plurality of displayed still images.

13. A non-transitory computer readable medium that stores a program, wherein the program causes a computer to execute:

an acquisition step of acquiring an image captured on any one of a plurality of conditions in a predetermined period;

a display control step of implementing control so that the plurality of images acquired in the acquisition step are classified into groups correspondingly to the plurality of conditions and displayed; and

a selection step of implementing control so that an operation target image is selected in accordance with user operation from the plurality of images that are classified and displayed in the display control step,

wherein in a case where the acquisition step acquires a still image captured on any one of the plurality of conditions during capturing of a moving image in the predetermined period and in a case where the moving image is deleted, the display control step implements control so that a plurality of still images, captured on any one of the plurality of conditions during capturing of the moving image, are classified into groups correspondingly to the plurality of conditions and displayed, and

the selection step implements control so that a still image to be deleted or a still image to be saved is selected in accordance with user operation from the plurality of displayed still images.
