Abstract

An apparatus includes a control unit configured to display a first item with a first image, which is an image that is captured by a capturing unit and is not de-squeezed, wherein the first item being an item indicating a region of the first image corresponding to a region having a predetermined aspect ratio of a second image that is an image obtained by de-squeezing the first image, wherein the region indicated by the first item does not have the predetermined aspect ratio.

Claims (42)

1. An apparatus comprising:

at least one processor; and

a memory coupled to the at least one processor, the memory having instructions that, when executed by the processor, perform operations as:

a controller configured to display a first item with a first image, which is captured by a capturing unit and is not de-squeezed,

wherein the first item indicates a region of the first image corresponding to a region of a second item which indicates a region having a predetermined aspect ratio of a second image obtained by de-squeezing the first image, and

wherein the first item is displayed to an output target, to which an image that is not de-squeezed is to be output, among a plurality of output targets in a case where the second item is displayed with a de-squeezed image.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the region indicated by the first item does not have the predetermined aspect ratio.

3. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the capturing unit is mounted an anamorphic lens and obtains the first image which is squeezed by compressing optical image of an object when capturing the object image.

4. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to display the first item with the first image on a display in a case where the image, that is captured and that is to be output to other output target than the display, is set to be de-squeezed.

5. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the at least one processor further performs operations as:

a shrink unit configured to shrink an image in a vertical direction to obtain a de-squeezed image.

6. The apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the at least one processor further performs the operations of the following unit:

a setting unit configured to set whether or not the first item is to be displayed in accordance with an instruction from a user.

7. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to display a guide indicating that the first item is showing a region of a predetermined aspect ratio in a case where the first item is being displayed.

8. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured not to display another item indicating a region having an aspect ratio different from the predetermined aspect ratio in a case where the first item is being displayed.

9. The apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the at least one processor further performs operations as:

a determination unit configured to determine whether or not an anamorphic lens is mounted, and

wherein the controller is further configured to display the first item in a case where the anamorphic lens is mounted.

10. The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the determination unit is further configured to determine whether or not an anamorphic lens is mounted based on information indicating a de-squeeze ratio set by a user.

11. The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the determination unit is further configured to determine whether or not an anamorphic lens is mounted in accordance with whether or not a shake correction setting for an anamorphic lens is made.

12. The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the determination unit is further configured to determine whether or not an anamorphic lens is mounted based on information acquired through lens communication indicating whether or not an image is to be squeezed.

13. A method comprising:

acquiring a first image which is captured by a capturing unit and is not de-squeezed, and

displaying a first item with the first image wherein the first item indicates a region of the first image corresponding to a region of a second item which indicates a region having a predetermined aspect ratio of a second image obtained by de-squeezing the first image,

wherein the first item is displayed to an output target, to which an image that is not de-squeezed is to be output, among a plurality of output targets in a case where the second item is displayed with a de-squeezed image.

14. The method according to claim 13 , wherein the region indicated by the first item does not have the predetermined aspect ratio.

15. The method according to claim 13 , wherein the capturing unit is mounted an anamorphic lens and obtains the first image which is squeezed by compressing optical image of an object when capturing the object image.

16. The method according to claim 13 , further comprising displaying the first item with the first image on a display in a case where the image, that is captured and that is to be output to other output target than the display, is set to be de-squeezed.

17. The method according to claim 13 , further comprising: shrinking an image in a vertical direction to obtain a de-squeezed image;

displaying the first item to an output target.

18. The method according to claim 13 , further comprising:

determining whether or not an anamorphic lens is mounted; and

displaying the first item in a case where the anamorphic lens is mounted.

19. The method according to claim 13 , further comprising displaying a guide indicating that the first item is showing a region of a predetermined aspect ratio in a case where the first item is being displayed.

20. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute:

a method comprising:

acquiring a first image which is captured by a capturing unit and is not de-squeezed, and

displaying a first item with the first image wherein the first item indicates a region of the first image corresponding to a region of a second item which indicates a region having a predetermined aspect ratio of a second image obtained by de-squeezing the first image,

wherein the first item is displayed to an output target, to which an image that is not de-squeezed is to be output, among a plurality of output targets in a case where the second item is displayed with a de-squeezed image.
