Claims

An image pickup apparatus having a first zoom control mode in which a zoom stop position is arranged from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end, and the zoom position can be changed after the target target zoom stop position is determined by the operation member. There,
An angle-of-view frame display means for displaying an angle-of-view frame corresponding to the position where the zoom can be stopped;
An angle-of-view frame selection means for selecting an angle-of-view frame corresponding to the zoom stop position of the reaching target;
An angle-of-view frame determination means for determining whether or not to display an angle-of-view frame corresponding to the zoom stop position of the target to be reached;
If necessary, zoom driving means for zoom driving according to the determination by the angle-of-view frame determination means;
Have
When the angle-of-view frame determining means determines that the display of the angle-of-view frame is impossible, the angle-of-view frame displaying means displays the angle-of-view frame after the zoom driving by the zoom driving means. An imaging device.

The angle-of-view frame determination means determines whether the angle-of-view frame can be displayed in principle, or whether the angle-of-view frame is smaller than a predetermined threshold even if the display is possible in principle. The image pickup apparatus according to claim 1, wherein it is determined whether display of the angle-of-view frame is impossible or possible.

The case where the display of the angle-of-view frame cannot be performed in principle is a case where the zoom stop position is selected from the current zoom position to the wide-angle side, and the zoom driving unit needs to zoom-drive to the wide-angle side,
When the angle of view frame is smaller than a predetermined threshold, the zoom stop position is selected from the current zoom position to the telephoto side, and the angle of view frame corresponding to the zoom stop position is too small by the zoom driving means. The imaging apparatus according to claim 2, wherein zooming to the telephoto side is necessary.

When zooming to the wide-angle side by the zoom driving means, an angle-of-view frame corresponding to the zoom stop position before driving after zoom driving is displayed,
The zoom drive to the zoom stop position corresponding to the field angle frame displayed before the drive is performed when the zoom drive unit performs zoom drive to the telephoto side. The imaging device according to item.

An angle-of-view frame determining unit that changes a zoom position to a zoom stop position corresponding to the selected angle-of-view frame is further provided, and the angle-of-view frame selecting unit is operated by a first operation member, and the angle-of-view frame determining unit The image pickup apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the image pickup device is operated by a second operation member.

A second zoom in which the zoom stop position can be directly changed by a third operating member by disposing more zoom stop positions from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end than in the first zoom control mode. A control mode,
The first zoom control mode is switched according to an operation of the first and second operation members, and the second zoom control mode is switched according to an operation of the third operation member. Item 6. The imaging device according to Item 5 .

The imaging apparatus according to claim 6, wherein a zoom speed is changed between the first zoom control mode and the second zoom control mode.

In the second zoom control mode, the zoom speed is made slower than in the first zoom control mode,
8. The image pickup apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the zoom speed of the second zoom control mode is further slowed down during a predetermined time after zoom driving in the first zoom control mode.

An image pickup apparatus control method having a zoom control mode in which a zoom stop position can be changed after determining a final target zoom stop position with an operation member by arranging a zoom stop position from a wide-angle end to a telephoto end. There,
An angle-of-view frame display step for displaying an angle-of-view frame corresponding to the position where the zoom can be stopped;
An angle-of-view frame selection step of selecting an angle-of-view frame corresponding to the zoom stop position of the reaching target;
An angle-of-view frame determination step for determining whether or not to display an angle-of-view frame corresponding to the zoom stop position of the reaching target;
According to the determination of the angle-of-view frame determination step, if necessary, a zoom driving step for performing zoom driving;
Have
When it is determined in the angle-of-view frame determination step that display of the angle-of-view frame is impossible, the angle-of-view frame is displayed in the angle-of-view frame display step after the zoom drive in the zoom drive step. Control method for imaging apparatus.

In the angle-of-view frame determination step, it is determined whether the angle-of-view frame can be displayed in principle, or whether the angle-of-view frame is smaller than a predetermined threshold even if the display is possible in principle. The method of controlling an imaging apparatus according to claim 9, wherein it is determined whether display of the angle-of-view frame is impossible or possible.

The program for making a computer perform the control method of the imaging device of Claim 9 or 10.
