Abstract:
1. An image capturing apparatus comprising: an imaging unit which captures an image of a subject; a memory unit; a display unit; and a processor which performs image processing on the image captured by the imaging unit to generate a first image having a first image size and a second image having a second image size, wherein the processor controls the memory unit to store the first image while controlling the display unit to display the second image as a live preview image of the image captured by the imaging unit, wherein the processor sets a visual field widening ratio, which indicates a ratio between the first image size and the second image size, in accordance with a user operation, wherein the processor automatically adjusts the second image size based on the visual field widening ratio and the first image size, and wherein the processor sets the visual field widening ratio directly and freely in accordance with the user operation so as to set the second image size to be larger than the first image size.
