Patent ID: 7978254

Claim:
An image capturing apparatus having an image sensor which photoelectrically converts an object image formed by photographing lens comprising: a focus control unit for adjusting a focus of the photographing lens to an aimed object in a field; a first image storage unit for storing an image captured at the timing when the focus of the photographing lens is adjusted to the aimed object and a second image storage unit for storing an image captured by the actual image capturing operation; a position calculation unit for calculating a resulting position of an image of the aimed object on an imaging screen when a position of the image of the aimed object moves on the imaging screen in accordance with a change of a direction of said image capturing apparatus between a timing when the focus of the photographing lens is adjusted to the aimed object by said focus control unit and a timing when an actual image capturing operation is performed, wherein said position calculation unit calculates the resulting position of the image of the aimed object on the imaging screen by comparing the image stored in said first storage unit and the image stored in said second storage unit; a recording unit for recording the resulting position of the image of the aimed object on the imaging screen in association with a captured image captured by the actual image capturing operation; and a display unit for displaying an image indicating the resulting position of the image of the aimed object by superimposing on the captured image.
