Abstract:
1. A signal processing apparatus which changes a magnification ratio of an image acquired by an image sensor, comprising: a signal processing unit mounted in the signal processing apparatus to execute a first signal processing for magnifying without pixel interpolation, wherein the signal processing unit executes a second signal processing for magnifying with pixel interpolation; and a display control unit mounted in the signal processing apparatus to display a magnification ratio indicator indicating a magnification ratio on a scale such that the indicator moves on the scale in accordance with changes in a magnification ratio of an image, wherein in a first mode, the first signal processing and the second signal processing are executed, and in a second mode, the second signal processing is not executed, and wherein said display control unit does not change a length of the scale regardless of whether the first mode or the second mode is selected, and further displays on the scale a magnification range in which the second signal processing is applied if the first mode is selected.
