IMAGE CAPTURE APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
1. An image capture apparatus capable of auto bracketing to obtain a plurality of images by setting a set value of a capture setting item to a reference value and at least one correction value, comprising:
- a setting unit configured to set a capture count in the auto bracketing in accordance with a user operation; and
a change unit configured to change the correction value in the auto bracketing within a predetermined range including a positive value and negative value with respect to the reference value in accordance with a first operation signal and second operation signal corresponding to user operations,wherein when the capture count is N (N is an integer of not less than three), a total of N−
1 correction values are set by at least one on each of a positive side and negative side with respect to the reference value, and said change unit sequentially expands a correction width serving as a difference between the reference value and each of the N−
1 correction values in accordance with one operation signal out of the first operation signal and the second operation signal, and sequentially narrows the correction width in accordance with the other operation signal until the correction width reaches 0, andwhen the capture count is two, the reference value and one correction value are set, and said change unit sequentially increases said one correction value within the predetermined range in accordance with one operation signal out of the first operation signal and the second operation signal, and sequentially decreases said one correction value within the predetermined range in accordance with the other operation signal.

Abstract
An image capture apparatus capable of auto bracketing. When a capture count for the auto bracketing is N (N is an integer of not less than three), a total of N−1 correction values are set by at least one on each of a positive side and negative side with respect to a reference value, and the apparatus sequentially expands or narrows a correction width serving as a difference between the reference value and each of the N−1 correction values in accordance with user'"'"'s operation. When the capture count is two, the reference value and one correction value are set, and the apparatus sequentially increases or decreases the one correction value within the predetermined range in accordance with user'"'"'s operation.

8. A method of controlling an image capture apparatus capable of auto bracketing to obtain a plurality of images by setting a set value of a capture setting item to a reference value and at least one correction value, comprising the steps of:
-
causing a setting unit to set a capture count in the auto bracketing in accordance with a user operation; and causing a change unit to change the correction value in the auto bracketing within a predetermined range including a positive value and negative value with respect to the reference value in accordance with a first operation signal and second operation signal corresponding to user operations, wherein when the capture count is N (N is an integer of not less than three), a total of N−
1 correction values are set by at least one on each of a positive side and negative side with respect to the reference value, and in the step of causing the change unit to change the correction value, a correction width serving as a difference between the reference value and each of the N−
1 correction values is sequentially expanded in accordance with one operation signal out of the first operation signal and the second operation signal, and the correction width is sequentially narrowed in accordance with the other operation signal until the correction width reaches 0, andwhen the capture count is two, the reference value and one correction value are set, and in the step of causing the change unit to change the correction value, said one correction value is sequentially increased within the predetermined range in accordance with one operation signal out of the first operation signal and the second operation signal, and said one correction value is sequentially decreased within the predetermined range in accordance with the other operation signal.

9. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program for causing a computer of an image capture apparatus capable of auto bracketing to obtain a plurality of images by setting a set value of a capture setting item to a reference value and at least one correction value, to execute the steps of:
-
setting a capture count in the auto bracketing in accordance with a user operation; and changing the correction value in the auto bracketing within a predetermined range including a positive value and negative value with respect to the reference value in accordance with a first operation signal and second operation signal corresponding to user operations, wherein the program causes the computer to, when the capture count is N (N is an integer of not less than three), set a total of N−
1 correction values by at least one on each of a positive side and negative side with respect to the reference value, and in the step of changing the correction value, sequentially expand a correction width serving as a difference between the reference value and each of the N−
1 correction values in accordance with one operation signal out of the first operation signal and the second operation signal, and sequentially narrow the correction width in accordance with the other operation signal until the correction width reaches 0, andthe program causes the computer to, when the capture count is two, set the reference value and one correction value, and in the step of changing the correction value, sequentially increase said one correction value within the predetermined range in accordance with one operation signal out of the first operation signal and the second operation signal, and sequentially decrease said one correction value within the predetermined range in accordance with the other operation signal.
