Abstract

When a still image has been captured is determined within a display screen on which a moving image is displayed. A control device executes: a thumbnail displaying process for causing a thumbnail of a still image captured during capture of a moving image to be displayed at a predetermined position within a display screen; and a thumbnail moving process for moving this thumbnail.

Claims

1. An electronic device comprising:

at least one image capturing device;

at least one display device; and

at least one control device,

the control device being configured to execute;

a thumbnail displaying process for causing a thumbnail of a still image captured by the image capturing device during capture of a moving image by the image capturing device to be displayed at a predetermined position within a display screen of the display device on which display screen the moving image being captured by the image capturing device is displayed; and

a thumbnail moving process for moving the thumbnail displayed in the thumbnail displaying process.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the control device causes the thumbnail to be moved at a constant velocity in the thumbnail moving process.

3. The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the control device causes the thumbnail to be moved along a predetermined path in the thumbnail moving process.

4. The electronic device according to claim 3, wherein the control device executes a time line displaying process for displaying a time line within the display screen, the time line extending from the predetermined position as a starting point along the predetermined path.

5. The electronic device according to claim 4, wherein the control device executes a thumbnail erasing process for erasing the thumbnail from within the display screen when the thumbnail has moved to an ending point of the time line.

6. The electronic device according to claim 4, wherein the control device executes a thumbnail display continuing process for causing the thumbnail to continue to be displayed within the display screen when the thumbnail has moved to an ending point of the time line, and in the thumbnail display continuing process,

respective thumbnails originating from a plurality of still images are displayed in a superimposed manner.

7. The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the control device executes an information displaying process for, when an object is brought into contact with a part on which the thumbnail is displayed within the display screen, displaying within the display screen information on the still image corresponding to the thumbnail.

8. The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the control device executes a thumbnail scaling process for carrying out at least one of scale-up of the thumbnail and scale-down of the thumbnail when an object is brought into contact with a part on which the thumbnail is displayed within the display screen.

11. A control program for controlling an electronic device recited in claim 1, the control program causing a computer to function as a control device.

9. A control device for controlling an electronic device, the electronic device comprising:

at least one image capturing device; and

at least one display device,

the control device comprising;

a thumbnail displaying section configured to cause a thumbnail of a still image captured by the image capturing device during capture of a moving image by the image capturing device to be displayed at a predetermined position within a display screen of the display device on which display screen the moving image being captured by the image capturing device is displayed; and

a thumbnail moving section configured to move the thumbnail displayed by the thumbnail displaying section.

10. A control method of controlling an electronic device, the electronic device comprising:

at least one image capturing device; and

at least one display device, the control method comprising the steps of;

(a) causing a thumbnail of a still image captured by the image capturing device during capture of a moving image by the image capturing device to be displayed at a predetermined position within a display screen of the display device on which display screen the moving image being captured by the image capturing device is displayed; and

(b) moving the thumbnail displayed in the step (a).
