In addition to the effects of the third embodiment, the present embodiment presents the magnitude and direction of the defocus amount for each imaging optical system in a different format from the second embodiment, and thus the user can obtain the necessary information by referring to an indicator that is easy for them to understand.
In the present embodiment as well, the basic technical spirit is to provide some kind of display to assist shooting for the images formed by the individual imaging optical systems when a multi-scopic lens unit is mounted, and the display content is not limited to the degrees of focus, the difference therebetween, and so on. For example, a peaking pattern indicating overexposed or underexposed regions may be displayed superimposed on the live view image.
A fifth embodiment of the disclosure will be described next. The present embodiment relates to a technique for automatically adjusting the difference in the degree of focus between imaging optical systems when a multi-scopic lens unit is mounted.
