Abstract:
1. An interchangeable-lens camera comprising: a camera mount on which an interchangeable lens is mounted; an image capture device for acquiring a capture image, based on subject light transmitted through the interchangeable lens; an optical viewfinder for leading a rectangular optical image of a subject to an eyepiece unit, through a path different from the capture image; a display device for displaying an image; an image superimposition device for superimposing the image displayed by the display device on the optical image, and leading the image to the eyepiece unit; an acquisition device for acquiring information about the interchangeable lens mounted on the camera mount; an image capture range determination device for determining an image capture range in the optical image, based on the acquired information about the interchangeable lens, the image capture range being a range corresponding to the capture image; and a display control device for making the display device display a first image, when the image capture range is smaller than or equal to a range to be shown by an angular field of the optical image, and making the display device display a second image such that the second image is superimposed on at least either of four corner vicinities and four side vicinities of the optical image, when the image capture range is larger than the range to be shown by the angular field of the optical image, the first image showing the image capture range in the optical image, the second image being different from the first image.
