1. An image capturing apparatus comprising:
- an image capturing unit configured to capture an image of a subject to acquire image data;
a display unit configured to display the image of the subject based on the image data acquired by the image capturing unit; and
a display control unit configured to perform a control operation so that information displayed at a predetermined position and a movably displayed frame are superimposed on the image of the subject displayed by the display unit, wherein the display control unit switches whether to display preferentially either the information or the frame in accordance with an overlapping state of the information and the frame when the information overlaps the frame.

13. An image capturing apparatus comprising:
-
an image capturing unit configured to capture an image of a subject to acquire image data; a display unit configured to display the image of the subject based on the image data acquired by the image capturing unit; and a display control unit configured to perform a control operation so that a movably displayed frame and information that is displayed at a predetermined position and is semitransparent so that the image of the subject can be seen therethrough are superimposed on the image of the subject displayed by the display unit, wherein the display control unit performs the control operation so that the information is displayed more preferentially than the frame when the information overlaps the frame and switches whether to make the information semitransparent so that the frame is seen therethrough in accordance with an overlapping state of the information and the frame.

19. A display control method comprising:
-
displaying an image of a subject on a display unit based on image data acquired by an image capturing unit; and controlling a movably displayed frame and information, which is displayed at a predetermined position and is semitransparent so that the image of the subject can be seen therethrough, to be superimposed on the image of the subject displayed on the display unit, wherein, in the controlling step, the information is displayed more preferentially than the frame when the information overlaps the frame and whether to make the information semitransparent so that the frame is seen therethrough is switched in accordance with an overlapping state of the information and the frame.
