Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: a main body unit; an image-capturing unit arranged to be rotatable with respect to the main body unit and comprising an image sensor and an optical system optically coupled to the image sensor, wherein the image-capturing unit is configured to detachably couple with an adapter optic configured to provide a 360° field-of-view; a rotation detection unit configured to detect a rotated state of the image-capturing unit with respect to the main body unit; a display unit configured to display a captured image that is output from the image sensor; an attachment detection unit configured to detect whether or not the adapter optic is coupled to the image-capturing unit; and a control unit, wherein, when the adapter optic is not coupled to the image-capturing unit, the control unit is configured to initiate a reverse display function for the display unit, in which the captured image is reversed on the display unit, on the basis of the rotated state being detected by the rotation detection unit, and wherein the control unit is configured to disable, in response to the attachment detection unit detecting that the adapter optic is coupled to the image-capturing unit, the reverse display function.
