Abstract

A display control device of a wearable device including a monitor, the display control device including: a memory; and at least one processor that is coupled to or incorporates the memory, and that is configured to: acquire an image to be displayed on the monitor; acquire a first operation instruction that is input through operation of an operation unit of an imaging apparatus in order to change a display magnification of the image and that is input through a magnification changing operation performed at the imaging apparatus, the imaging apparatus being a separate body from the wearable device; and change the display magnification of the image in accordance with the first operation instruction.

Claims (32)

1. An imaging device including a monitor and an imaging unit, the imaging device comprising:

a processor:

a ring operation member that is rotatably operable;

a detector that is configured to detect rotation of the ring operation member as a signal; and

a communication unit that is configured to communicate the signal detected by the detector to a wearable device, the signal being used for display control of the wearable device,

wherein the signal comprises at least one of a signal associated with a setting of imaging conditions of the imaging unit, or a signal associated with a display setting of an image displayed on the monitor,

wherein the signal comprises a signal indicating an operation amount of the ring operation member, and

the processor is configured to:

acquire an image to be displayed on the monitor, wherein the image includes magnification changing operation-related information related to an amount of change in magnification with respect to an operation amount of the magnification changing operation performed in an imaging at an imaging apparatus that has captured the image,

determine an amount of change in a display magnification of the image based on the operation amount indicated by the signal, and

match the amount of change in the magnification with respect to the operation amount of the magnification changing operation performed in the imaging, to an amount of change in magnification with respect to an operation amount of the ring operation member when changing the display magnification of the image, based on the magnification changing operation-related information.

2. The imaging device according to claim 1 , further comprising a cover member that is configured to engage with the imaging device,

wherein the ring operation member is rotatably attached to the cover member.

3. The imaging device according to claim 1 , wherein the imaging conditions comprise a magnification of imaging at the imaging unit.

4. The imaging device according to claim 1 , wherein the display setting of the image comprises a display magnification of the image.

5. The imaging device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the cover member is configured to engage with the imaging unit, and

the processor is configured to control at least one of the setting of the imaging conditions of the imaging unit, or the display setting of the image displayed on the monitor, in a case in which it is detected that the cover member is engaged with the imaging unit.

6. The imaging device according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to detect that the cover member is engaged with the imaging unit by detecting that a communication has been established with the imaging unit.

7. An imaging system comprising:

a processor;

a wearable device including a display; and

an imaging device including a monitor and an imaging unit, the imaging device comprising:

a ring operation member that is rotatably operable;

a detector that is configured to detect rotation of the ring operation member as a signal; and

a communication unit that is configured to communicate the signal detected by the detector to a wearable device, the signal being used for display control of the wearable device,

wherein the processor is configured to send, to the wearable device, a signal related to at least one of settings of imaging conditions of the imaging unit or display settings of an image displayed on the monitor,

wherein the signal comprises a signal indicating an operation amount of the ring operation member, and

the processor is further configured to:

acquire an image to be displayed on the monitor, wherein the image includes magnification changing operation-related information related to an amount of change in magnification with respect to an operation amount of the magnification changing operation performed in an imaging at an imaging apparatus that has captured the image,

determine an amount of change in a display magnification of the image based on the operation amount indicated by the signal, and

match the amount of change in the magnification with respect to the operation amount of the magnification changing operation performed in the imaging, to an amount of change in magnification with respect to an operation amount of the ring operation member when changing the display magnification of the image, based on the magnification changing operation-related information.
