By providing different switching points between two optical systems for the case where an image capture device such as a camera is zoomed in, when the angle of view for the captured image is transitioned from wide to tele, and for the case where the camera is zoomed out, when the angle of view of the captured image is transitioned from tele to wide, the number of switching operations between the two optical systems can be reduced.
