Abstract

A display control apparatus includes: a display controller configured to display a graphic image together with an HDR image on a display unit, wherein the display controller is further configured to (1) display the graphic image in second brightness in a case where brightness of the HDR image is first brightness, and (2) display the graphic image in fourth brightness that is higher than the second brightness in a case where brightness of the HDR image is third brightness that is higher than the first brightness.

Claims (25)

1. An apparatus, comprising:

an imaging element; and

a display controller configured to display a graphic image together with an HDR image on a display unit,

wherein the display controller is further configured to (1) display the graphic image in second brightness in a case where brightness of the HDR image is first brightness, and (2) display the graphic image in fourth brightness that is higher than the second brightness in a case where brightness of the HDR image is third brightness that is higher than the first brightness, and

the brightness of the HDR image used for the case determination is maximum brightness corresponding to a dynamic range set on the device at a time of imaging or maximum brightness corresponding to a gamma set on the device at a time of development.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the brightness of the HDR image used for the case determination is maximum brightness in the HDR image.

3. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the display controller is further configured to, in a case where switching between images to be displayed on the display unit is implemented, gradually change the brightness of the graphic image.

4. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein in a case where the display controller displays a plurality of images side by side on the display unit, the brightness of the graphic image is any value of a maximum value, a minimum value, an average value, a median, or a mode of maximum brightnesses of the respective images.

5. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the display controller is further configured to determine brightness of the graphic image for each region in a plane of the HDR image.

6. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the display controller is further configured to adjust brightness of the graphic image on the basis of display brightness selected by a user.

7. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the display controller is further configured to adjust brightness of the graphic image on the basis of displayable brightness acquired from the display unit.

8. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the display controller is further configured to adjust brightness of the graphic image on the basis of a brightness component of which a spatial frequency is a low frequency band that is lower than a prescribed frequency in the HDR image.

9. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the display controller is further configured to determine brightness of gray that indicates a state of being disabled in the graphic image at a time of display in an HDR on the basis of on a difference between maximum brightness of the graphic image and brightness of gray at a time of display in an SDR.

10. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the display controller is further configured to, in a case where brightness of the graphic image that is determined on the basis of brightness of the HDR image is lower than a prescribed value, set the brightness of the graphic image to the prescribed value.

11. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the brightness of the HDR image used for the case determination is the maximum brightness corresponding to the dynamic range set on the device at the time of imaging and the maximum brightness corresponding to the gamma set on the device at the time of development.

12. A control method of an apparatus including an imaging element, the control method comprising:

displaying a graphic image together with an HDR image on a display unit,

displaying the graphic image in second brightness in a case where brightness of the HDR image is first brightness, and

displaying the graphic image in fourth brightness that is higher than the second brightness in a case where brightness of the HDR image is third brightness that is higher than the first brightness, wherein

the brightness of the HDR image used for the case determination is maximum brightness corresponding to a dynamic range set on the device at a time of imaging or maximum brightness corresponding to a gamma set on the device at a time of development.

13. A non-transitory computer readable medium that stores a program, wherein the program causes a computer to execute: a control method of an apparatus including an imaging element, the control method comprising:

displaying a graphic image together with an HDR image on a display unit,

displaying the graphic image in second brightness in a case where brightness of the HDR image is first brightness, and

displaying the graphic image in fourth brightness that is higher than the second brightness in a case where brightness of the HDR image is third brightness that is higher than the first brightness, and

the brightness of the HDR image used for the case determination is maximum brightness corresponding to a dynamic range set on the device at a time of imaging or maximum brightness corresponding to a gamma set on the device at a time of development.
