Electronic device and method of controlling electronic device
An electronic device comprising: an acquisition unit configured to acquire an image set including a first image and a second image which have parallax from each other; and a control unit configured to perform control such that 1) in a case of a first display mode where the first image is to be displayed without displaying the second image, the first image is displayed on a display with an orientation of the first image being corrected to be directed to be in a predetermined orientation, and 2) in a case of a second display mode where both the first image and the second image are to be displayed, the first image and the second image are displayed on the display without an orientation of the first image and the second image being corrected to be directed to be in the predetermined orientation.
1. An electronic device comprising at least one memory and at least one processor which function as:
an acquisition unit configured to acquire an image set including a first image and a second image which have parallax from each other; and
a control unit configured to perform control
to display the first image without the second image on a display in a first display mode or
to display both the first image and the second image on the display in a second display mode;
configured to determine, for displaying the image set on the display, whether a user instruction indicates the first display mode or the second display mode; and
a correction unit configured to perform a zenith correction on the first image if the image set is displayed on the display in the first display mode and not to perform the zenith correction on both the first image and the second image if the image set is displayed on the display in the second display mode,
wherein the control unit performs control to display the first image on which the zenith correction is performed, said display being in the first display mode.
2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the correction unit performs the zenith correction based on inclination information indicating a direction of an optical system for capturing the image set with respect to a horizontal direction.
3. The electronic device according to claim 2 , wherein
the image set is captured by an imaging device having two optical systems, and
the inclination information indicates an inclination of a direction, in which the two optical systems are connected with respect to the horizontal direction.
4. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the zenith correction is performed such that an orientation of the first image is corrected to cause a direction in the first image corresponding to a gravity direction during image capturing to be parallel with a vertical direction of the display.
5. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the zenith correction is performed such that an orientation of the first image is corrected to cause a direction in the first image corresponding to a gravity direction during image capturing to be parallel with a gravity direction during displaying the first image on the display.
6. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein
the first image and the second image are displayed side-by-side on the display in the second display mode, and
in the second display mode, the first image is an image to be viewed by one of left and right eyes of a user, and the second image is an image to be viewed by another one of the left and right eyes of the user.
7. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the image to be displayed is generated by the equidistant cylindrical projection which is mapped on a virtual sphere.
8. A method of controlling an electronic device, the method comprising:
an acquisition step of acquiring an image set including a first image and a second image which have parallax from each other;
performing a first control step to display the first image without the second image on a display in a first display mode or
performing a second control step to display both the first image and the second image on the display in a second display mode;
determining, for displaying the image set on the display, whether a user instruction indicates the first display mode or the second display mode; and
performing a zenith correction on the first image if the image set is displayed on the display in the first display mode and not performing the zenith correction on both the first image and the second image if the image set is displayed on the display in the second display mode,
performing control to display the first image on which the zenith correction is performed, said display being in the first display mode.
9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program to cause a computer to function as each unit of the electronic device according to claim 1 .
