Abstract:
1. An imaging apparatus comprising: an image pickup section configured to capture an image of a subject; an image input section configured to input the image captured by the image pickup section; a face detector configured to detect a face from the image input by the image input section; a face position marker generator configured to generate a face position marker indicating a position of the face, detected by the face detector, in the image input by the image input section; an overlaying section configured to overlay the face position marker generated by the face position marker generator and the image input by the image input section; and a display configured to display an image overlaid by the overlaying section, wherein if a plurality of faces are detected by the face detector in the image input by the image input section, the face position marker generator generates the face position marker so that the detected faces are different from each other in terms of a transparency of the face position marker.
