Abstract

In representing a depth of field in a camera, the depth of field is displayed on the basis of the magnitude of a field depth feeling Df, which corresponds to human feeling and sensitivity. The field depth feeling Df is obtained by processing at least one of a calculated depth of field, an object distance, a lens hyper-focal length, a diameter of a permissible circle of confusion, a lens aperture value and a lens focal length.
