In step S1008, the system control unit 218 determines to display the indicator in the fourth display format (
In step S1009, the system control unit 218 notifies the image processing unit 214 of the display format of the indicator determined in steps S1005 to S1008 and the display position of the mark 904 according to the difference in the degrees of focus. The image processing unit 214 generates an image of the indicator according to the display format in accordance with the notification and writes the image of the indicator to the address of the video memory region corresponding to a predetermined display position of the indicator. As a result, the indicator, which indicates the difference in the degree of focus between the left and right images, is displayed superimposed on the live view image in the EVF 217 or the display unit 108.
Live view display operations according to the present embodiment will be described next with reference to the flowchart in
