Abstract:
A zooming control device includes a first determination unit configured to determine whether a current state is a specific image capturing state in which a photographer can perform self photographing, a zooming control unit configured to, in a case in which it is determined that an image does not satisfy a predetermined composition condition, perform zooming control so as to satisfy the predetermined composition condition, and a reception unit configured to receive a predetermined operation for instructing an image capturing preparation operation. The zooming control unit performs the zooming control in a first state in which the predetermined operation is not received, and in a case in which the first determination unit determines that the current state is the specific image capturing state, the zooming control unit continues the zooming control even in a second state in which the predetermined operation is received.
