Apparatuses and methods for capturing and generating composite images. In various aspects, the invention provides apparatuses and methods for correcting position information of captured images received by position sensors based on alignment of overlapping images. Corrected position information is then taken into account when displaying the locations of captured images on a display for providing guidance to users for generating composite images.

A subject detection apparatus includes a subject detection unit configured to detect a subject included in an image, an orientation detection unit configured to detect an orientation of the subject detection apparatus, and a control unit configured to control a zoom magnification according to an area of the subject detected by the subject detection unit. If the area of the subject detected by the subject detection unit enters a designated area of the image, the control unit controls the zoom magnification so as to become a zoom magnification in a wide angle direction. The designated area is set according to a detection result obtained by the orientation detection unit.

An image pickup apparatus capable of giving a shooter the same rotary operation feeling regardless of the rotating direction, and displaying an erect image to a shooter at all times. A two-axis hinge is provided with a first bearing that supports a display unit rotatably in right and left directions and a second bearing that supports the display unit in rotated states rotatably so as to direct the screen to front and rear sides. A first axial rotation detector detects the rotation of the display unit by the first bearing. A second axial rotation detector detects the rotation of the display unit in the rotated states by the second bearing to direct the screen to the front and rear sides. A control unit switches display orientation of an image displayed on the display unit based on detection results from the first and second axial rotation detectors.

An operation device includes a fixed member, an operation member arranged to be manually rotatable, a load section configured to apply a predetermined load to the operation member, a transducer configured to come into friction contact with the load section, a position detecting section configured to detect a relative position of the operation member with respect to the fixed member or the load section, an operation mode setting section, and an operation sense control section configured to control oscillation applied to the load section by the transducer to thereby change a sense of operation obtained from the operation member when the operation member is rotated. The operation sense control section causes, on the basis of an output from the position detecting section, the operation member to generate a sense of click corresponding to the set operation mode.

A driving control device according to the present invention includes: a fixed member; an operation member arranged to be manually rotatable with respect to the fixed member; a transducer arranged in one of the fixed member and the operation member and arranged to come into contact with an opposed surface of the other of the fixed member and the operation member; a position detecting section for detecting a position of the operation member with respect to the fixed member; and an operation force amount control section for controlling driving of the transducer to change contact friction force generated when the transducer contacts with the fixed member or the operation member. The operation force amount control section controls the transducer such that the contact friction force applied to the operation member when the operation member is manually rotated with respect to the fixed member changes to a sense of click.
