7. The electronic apparatus of claim 6 , wherein
based on an editing operation of the one or more processors subsequent to the selection, the one or more processors set image-capture conditions of some regions of the first regions or second regions in such a manner that the image-capture conditions of the some regions differ from the first image-capture conditions or second image-capture conditions.
8. The electronic apparatus of claim 6 , wherein
the one or more processors control at least one of a frame rate, a gain, and an exposure time serving as image-capture conditions.
9. The electronic apparatus of claim 6 , wherein
the one or more processors control at least one of white balance, gradation, and color tone correction serving as image-capture conditions.
10. The electronic apparatus of claim 6 , wherein
based on a control of one of the exposure time and gain, the one or more processors control the other of the exposure time and gain so that the first and second images have the same brightness.
11. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein
the one or more processors control the display to display an image obtained by combining the first and second images.
12. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein
based on one of the first and second images being zoomed in or out on the display, the one or more processors zoom in or out the other of the first and second images.
13. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein
the first and second regions are disposed in an alternating manner.
14. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein
the first regions are disposed at a plurality of first locations spaced from each other along the image sensor, and the second regions are disposed at a plurality of second locations spaced from each other along the image sensor, the second locations being different from the first locations.
15. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein
one of the second regions is disposed between two of the first regions.
16. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein
the first and second images are live view images.
17. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein
the one or more processors set the image-capture conditions of the entire image sensor based on the selection.
