Abstract:
1. An image pickup apparatus comprising: an image capturing device; a projection device; a reproduction processing unit implemented by circuitry and configured to perform processing for reproducing image data; a display control unit implemented by the circuitry and configured to control a display device to display image data captured by the image capturing device; and a control unit implemented by the circuitry and configured to switch between operation modes at least including an image capturing mode in which the image capturing device performs image capturing and a reproduction mode in which the reproduction processing unit performs reproduction processing, and to control the display control unit to control the display device to display the image data captured by the image capturing device, and wherein, when the operation mode is switched from the image capturing mode to the reproduction mode, the control unit starts, while a lid blocking light from a light source of the projection device is closed, activation processing for activating the projection device, the activation processing including processing for turning on the light source of the projection device after the operation mode is switched from the image capturing mode to the reproduction mode, before receiving a projection start instruction, and when the lid blocking light from the light source is closed, wherein the lid blocking the light from the light source is closed while the operation mode is switched from the image capturing mode to the reproduction mode, and wherein, when the projection device receives the projection start instruction, the projection unit device starts projection on to a projection surface.
