Claim Text:
1. An image capturing device comprising: an image capturing sensor that captures an image of an object; an image data generation section operatively coupled to the image capturing sensor and to generate captured image data showing the captured image of the object per line of a display section based on output data of the image capturing sensor; a buffer that has capacity to store a plurality of lines of the captured image data; and a display control section operatively coupled to the image data generation section to cause each line of display data including the captured image data to be displayed on a first display region of a display screen of the display section, which is constructed by the first display region and a second display region, with a line display period having a length of “a” or more to “b” or less after the plurality of lines of the captured image data are stored in the buffer, and to cause each line of display data that does not include the captured image data to be displayed on the second display region with a line display period having a length of “a”, “a” referring to a shortest length of the line display period corresponding to a frame rate of the display section, with the frame rate as display capability of the display section being higher than a frame rate of the image capturing sensor, and “b” referring to a maximum length of a period for generating one line of the captured image data in a case where the image capturing sensor is operated at the frame rate of the image capturing sensor, with “a” being shorter than “b”.
