SYSTEM MATCHING FINDER VIEW AREA AND CAPTURE AREA IN SINGLE-LENS REFLEX IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS, METHOD THEREOF, AND IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS THEREOF

A video camera obtains a capture scope obtained through finder optics of a single-lens reflex camera and indicated by a view frame mask. A PC detects the position corresponding to the capture scope from the captured image captured by the image pickup device of the single-lens reflex camera, generates the information designating the position, and stores the information in the single-lens reflex camera. The system controller of the single-lens reflex camera extracts a part of the area in the captured image captured by the image pickup device, and records the image of the area in a memory card.
