Video Processing Apparatus, Control Method, and Recording Medium

[0025]FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a hardware configuration of a video processing apparatus 100 according to a first embodiment. Note that, instead of the hardware configuration illustrated in FIG. 1, each block in FIG. 1 may be realized by a plurality of circuits, or a plurality of blocks may be realized by a single circuit. Although the video processing apparatus 100 of this embodiment is an imaging apparatus, the present invention is not limited to this. In FIG. 1, a CPU 101 performs a calculation, a logical determination, and the like for various processes and controls components of various units 102 to 108 connected to a bus 109. A ROM 102 stores a program for control to be performed by the CPU 101 which indicates various instructions including a processing procedure of a flowchart described below. A RAM 103 temporarily stores programs and data loaded from an external storage device (not illustrated) or the like, data externally obtained through an interface (I / F), and the l

[0066]The focus process performed by the video processing apparatus 100 when the single object is specified as a target of the focus process is illustrated in the first embodiment described above. In a second embodiment, a focus process performed by a video processing apparatus 100 in a case where a user specifies a plurality of objects is described.

[0067]Hereinafter, a process performed by the video processing apparatus 100 of the second embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 6 and FIGS. 7A and 7B. FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of performing a focus process on objects performed by the video processing apparatus 100 according to this embodiment. Furthermore, FIGS. 7A and 7B are diagrams illustrating a display screen of an UI unit 108 of the video processing apparatus 100 in a case where the video processing apparatus 100 performs the focus process on the objects.

[0068]First, a process performed by the video processing apparatus 100 will be descr

[0081]In the second embodiment described above, the video processing apparatus 100 performs the MF process by arranging the in-focus marks 715 to 717 corresponding to the plurality of objects on the single slide bar 713 as illustrated in FIG. 7B. In a third embodiment, a video processing apparatus 100 displays in-focus marks corresponding to a plurality of objects specified by a user in positions based on positions of the objects on a display screen 301 as illustrated in FIG. 9.

[0082]Hereinafter, a process performed by the video processing apparatus 100 of the third embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9. FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of performing a focus process on objects performed by the video processing apparatus 100 according to the third embodiment. Furthermore, FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating the display screen 301 in a display unit of an UI unit 108 of the video processing apparatus 100 in a case where the video processing app
