Image capturing control apparatus and method for controlling the same
First Claim
1. An image capturing control apparatus configured to switch between a first setting mode in which a specific setting relating to image capturing is automatically performed and a second setting mode in which the specific setting is performed based on an amount of a user operation performed on a first operation member, the image capturing control apparatus comprising:
- a reception unit configured to receive an image capturing preparation instruction to prepare for image capturing; and
a control unit configured to perform control in such a manner that the first setting mode is switched to the second setting mode based on a user operation,wherein, in a case where the first setting mode is switched to the second setting mode by a user operation before the reception unit receives the image capturing preparation instruction, the control unit performs control in such a manner that the second setting mode is not switched to the first setting mode when the reception unit is released from a state of receiving the image capturing preparation instruction, andwherein, in a case where the first setting mode is switched to the second setting mode by a user operation in a state of the reception unit receiving the image capturing preparation instruction, the control unit performs control in such a manner that the second setting mode is switched to the first setting mode when the reception unit is released from the state of receiving the image capturing preparation instruction.

Abstract
An image capturing control apparatus configured to switch between a first mode in which a specific setting relating to image capturing is automatically performed and a second mode in which the specific setting is performed based on an amount of user operation and a control unit configured to perform control, in a case where the first mode is switched to the second mode by a user operation before the image capturing preparation instruction is received, the second mode is not switched to the first mode based on a release of the image capturing preparation instruction, and in a case where the first mode is switched to the second mode by a user operation during the image capturing preparation instruction is being received, the second mode is switched to the first mode based on the release of the image capturing preparation instruction is being received.

18. A method for controlling an image capturing control apparatus configured to switch between a first setting mode in which a specific setting relating to image capturing is automatically performed and a second setting mode in which the specific setting is performed based on an amount of a user operation performed on a first operation member, the method comprising:
-
receiving an image capturing preparation instruction to prepare for image capturing; and performing control in such a manner that the first setting mode is switched to the second setting mode based on a user operation, wherein, in a case where the first setting mode is switched to the second setting mode by a user operation before the image capturing preparation instruction is received in the receiving, the control is performed in such a manner that the second setting mode is not switched to the first setting mode even in a case where a state in which the image capturing preparation instruction is being received in the receiving is released, and wherein, in a case where the first setting mode is switched to the second setting mode by a user operation in a state in which the image capturing preparation instruction is being received in the receiving, the control is performed in such a manner that the second setting mode is switched to the first setting mode based on release from the state in which the image capturing preparation instruction is being received in the receiving. - View Dependent Claims (19)
