IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREOF, AND PROGRAM
First Claim
1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a posture detection unit detecting a posture of the image processing apparatus;
an image capturing unit capturing a subject and generating a planar image that includes the subject or a stereoscopic image for stereoscopy of the subject;
a mode setting unit setting any one of a planar image capturing mode for recording the planar image and a stereoscopic image capturing mode for recording the stereoscopic image on the basis of user operation;
an image conversion unit converting the image that is generated by the image capturing unit through performing of an aspect conversion process and a reduction process with respect to the image; and
a control unit operating to record the stereoscopic image on a recording medium regardless of the detected posture of the image processing apparatus if the stereoscopic image capturing mode is set and to record any one of the planar image and a converted image that is an image obtained by converting the planar image through the image conversion unit on the recording medium on the basis of the detected posture of the image processing apparatus if the planar image capturing mode is set.
