Abstract

Provided is a display apparatus that allows viewing a plurality of plane images in different photographing ranges with high visibility. Two images in different photographing ranges (an image of the telephoto side and an image of the wide side) are taken in a tele/wide simultaneous shooting mode, and the two images are stored in one image file (for example, MP file). The display apparatus acquires the image file and displays the two images on a monitor by a display method stored in ancillary information of the image file. A change in the display method can be inputted from an designation device. If the display method is inputted, a CPU causes the monitor to display the images by the changed display method. If the display method is inputted, the ancillary information of the image file is overwritten by the inputted display method and stored in a main memory.

Claims

1. A display apparatus comprising:

an acquisition device that acquires two plane images taken at the same time in different photographing ranges, the two plane images stored in a manner associated with each other;

a display device that can display plane images; and

a display control device that displays the two plane images on the display device by at least one of;

a first display method for displaying a desired one of the two plane images on the entire screen of the display device and reducing and displaying the other of the two plane images on the display device;

a second display method for displaying the two plane images side by side on the display device; and

a third display method for displaying the desired one of the two plane images over the other of the two plane images at a predetermined transmittance and changing the predetermined transmittance along with passage of time.

2. The display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein

the acquisition device acquires information indicating the display method associated with the two plane images, and

the display control device displays the two plane images on the display device by the display method associated with the two plane images, based on the acquired information indicating the display method.

3. The display apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising

a first designation device that designates a desired one of the first display method, the second display method, and the third display method, wherein

the display control device displays the two plane images on the display device by the designated display method.

4. The display apparatus according to any one of claims 1, further comprising

a second designation device that designates a desired plane image.

5. The display apparatus according to claim 4, wherein

if the desired plane image is designated when the two plane images are displayed by the third display method, the display control device displays the other of the two plane images over the desired one of the two plane images at 100% transmittance and gradually reduces the transmittance from 100% along with passage of time.

6. The display apparatus according to claim 3, further comprising

a storage device that stores information on the designation of display method in association with the acquired two plane images, wherein

the display control device displays the two plane images on the display device in accordance with the information on the designation of the display method stored in association with the two plane images.

7. The display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein

the acquisition device acquires one file consecutively storing two plane images.

8. The display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein

the two plane images are still images.

9. The display apparatus according to claim 8, wherein

the acquisition device acquires a plurality of sets of the two plane images, and

the display control device sequentially displays the plurality of sets of two plane images.

10. The display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein

the two plane images are moving images.
