Patent ID: 8639103

Claim:
An imaging apparatus comprising: an imaging unit to capture an image of a subject; a display unit on which the image is displayed; an inclination detector to detect an inclination of the imaging apparatus; and an inclination indicator unit to display an indicator to indicate the inclination on the display unit based on a result of the detection of the inclination detector; and wherein the indicator comprises a plurality of indicator portions arranged with an equal interval in a predetermined criterial direction; and when the inclination detected by the inclination detector is larger than a degree of inclination corresponding to an outermost one of the indicator portions, the inclination indicator unit indicates the inclination, using one of the outermost indicator portions, in a different manner from when the inclination detected by the inclination detector is equal to or below the degree of inclination corresponding to the outermost one of the indicator portions; and when the inclination detected by the inclination detector is larger than a degree of inclination corresponding to an outermost one of the indicator portions, the inclination indicator unit integrally highlights one of two outermost indicator portions and upper and lower ends of indicator portions on an inclined side.
