Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An imaging device produces images on the basis of signals, transmitted from an imaging element. The device includes a display controller which selectively carries out either a first or a second display process, based on a user's selection. The first display process includes obtaining a first portion of the signals from a first area of the imaging element at a first frame rate, and displaying a first through-the-lens image on the display unit on the basis of the first portion of the signals. The second display process includes obtaining the first portion of the signals from the first area of the imaging element at a second, lower frame rate; obtaining a second portion of the signals from a second area of the imaging element at the lower frame rate; and displaying a second through-the-lens image on the display unit on the basis of both portions of the signals.
