20110109771IMAGE CAPTURING APPRATUS AND IMAGE CAPTURING METHOD - An image capturing apparatus is provided which can continuously keep track of an object even under changes of the angle of view during enlarged live-view display, as well as an image capturing method for such an image capturing apparatus. Acquisition range of image signals is controlled by the CPU to crop a portion of an object image formed on the image pickup device. Subsequently, the enlarged live-view display is performed in which the image based on the obtained image signals is enlarged and displayed on the display unit. If a zooming operation is performed during the enlarged live-view display, the CPU obtains information regarding the angle of view and updates the acquisition range of the image signals according to the information regarding the angle of view after the change.05-12-2011
20110109774IMAGING APPARATUS AND IMAGING METHOD - An imaging apparatus includes an imaging section, an imaging acquisition range control section, a distortion information obtaining section, and a display section. The imaging section includes a lens and obtains an image data by imaging a subject image. The imaging acquisition range control section controls an acquisition range of the image data such that a part of the subject image is read out. The distortion information obtaining section obtains distortion information of the lens. The distortion correction section corrects distortion of the image data in accordance with the distortion information. The display section performs enlarged live-view display operation to display an enlarged image of the corrected image data in the acquisition range. The imaging acquisition range control section updates the acquisition range, when the distortion information is changed while the enlarged live-view display operation is performed, in accordance with the changed distortion information.05-12-2011
