Abstract

For example, in an operation of determining a composition while zooming in a plurality of areas and confirming positional relationship of mutual images such as, for example, a case of horizontal leveling and the like performed when a construction is photographed, it has been necessary to perform a complicated operation of repeating designation and release of zoom-in areas among the plurality of the areas. Therefore, an imaging apparatus is provided, the imaging apparatus being provided with a display unit that displays an image, and a display control unit that zooms in and displays a plurality of partial areas within the image, and also displays on the display unit positional information representing positions of the plurality of partial areas within the image.

Claims (26)

1. An image display device comprising:

a display that displays an image; and

a processor that sets a position of a first area of the image, and sets a position of a second area of the image horizontally or vertically with respect to the position of the first area, wherein

the display displays a first zoom-in image of the first area and a second zoom-in image of the second area.

2. The image display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor changes the position of the second area in response to a change of the position of the first area.

3. The image display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor changes the position of the second area vertically when the second area is set to a position that is in horizontal arrangement with the first area, and the position of the first area is moved vertically.

4. The image display device according to claim 3 , wherein

the processor does not change the position of the second area when the second area is set to a position that is in horizontal arrangement with the first area, and the position of the first area is moved horizontally.

5. The image display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor changes the position of the second area horizontally when the second area is set to a position that is in vertical arrangement with the first area, and the position of the first area is moved horizontally.

6. The image display device according to claim 5 , wherein

the processor does not change the position of the second area when the second area is set to a position that is in vertical arrangement with the first area, and the position of the first area is moved vertically.

7. The image display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the display displays the first zoom-in image and the second zoom-in image superimposed on the image.

8. The image display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the display displays the first zoom-in image and the second zoom-in image horizontally aligned when the second area is set to a position that is in horizontal arrangement with the first area.

9. The image display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the display displays the first zoom-in image and the second zoom-in image vertically aligned when the second area is set to a position that is in vertical arrangement with the first area.

10. The image display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor sets the position of the second area such that a positional relationship between the first area and the second area is parallel to a side of the display.

11. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing thereon a program that, when executed by a computer, causes the computer to perform operations comprising:

displaying an image on a display;

setting a position of a first area of the image, and setting a position of a second area of the image horizontally or vertically with respect to the position of the first area; and

displaying on the display a first zoom-in image of the first area and a second zoom-in image of the second area.
