 display of a plurality of auxiliary images with different compositions together with a predetermined image acquired through an imaging unit; 
 display of information that guides a user to move the imaging unit in correspondence with each of the plurality of auxiliary images; and 
 display, as the information, of an auxiliary image selected from the plurality of auxiliary images in a manner that the selected auxiliary image overlaps the predetermined image. 
 
 
     
     
       2. The display control device according to  claim 1 , wherein the CPU is configured to control generation of the plurality of auxiliary images based on the predetermined image acquired through the imaging unit. 
     
     
       3. The display control device according to  claim 1 , wherein the information is directional information indicating a movement direction of the imaging unit in correspondence with each of the plurality of auxiliary images. 
     
     
       4. The display control device according to  claim 1 , wherein the CPU is configured to control generation of the plurality of auxiliary images according to a predetermined operation. 
     
     
       5. The display control device according to  claim 1 , wherein the CPU is configured to receive an operation signal indicating selection of one auxiliary image from the plurality of auxiliary images. 
     
     
       6. The display control device according to  claim 1 , wherein the CPU is configured to control display of an edge of the selected auxiliary image. 
     
     
       7. The display control device according to  claim 1 , wherein the CPU is configured to control display of information used to switch the selected auxiliary image. 
     
     
       8. The display control device according to  claim 1 , wherein the CPU is configured to control display of information used to change a display form of the selected auxiliary image. 
     
     
       9. The display control device according to  claim 1 , wherein the CPU is configured to control display of the plurality of auxiliary images according to an evaluation value of each of the plurality of auxiliary images. 
     
     
       10. The display control device according to  claim 9 , wherein the evaluation value is determined according to a position of a predetermined subject included in each of the plurality of auxiliary images. 
     
     
       11. The display control device according to  claim 9 , wherein the evaluation value is determined according to a number of downloads of the plurality of auxiliary images. 
     
     
       12. The display control device according to  claim 1 , wherein the CPU is configured to control generation of the plurality of auxiliary images based on an image stored in a storage unit. 
     
     
       13. The display control device according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a position information acquisition unit that acquires position information wherein the CPU generates the plurality of auxiliary images based on an image acquired according to the position information. 
 
     
     
       14. The display control device according to  claim 1 , wherein a photograph including compositions of the selected auxiliary image is obtained by moving the imaging unit to match a subject in the predetermined image with the selected auxiliary image. 
     
     
       15. The display control device according to  claim 1 , wherein the CPU is configured to control display of the selected auxiliary image transparently. 
     
     
       16. A display control device comprising:
 a memory storing a set of computer executable instructions; and 
 a central processing unit (CPU) configured to:
 control display of a plurality of auxiliary images with different compositions together with a predetermined image; 
 control display of information corresponding to an auxiliary image in a manner that the information overlaps the predetermined image; and 
 receive an operation signal indicating selection of one auxiliary image from the plurality of auxiliary images, 
 wherein the information corresponding to the selected auxiliary image is information on an image for which transparency of the selected auxiliary image is changed. 
 
 
     
     
       17. A display control method in a display control device, the method comprising:
 displaying a plurality of auxiliary images with different compositions together with a predetermined image acquired through an imaging unit; 
 displaying information that guides a user to move the imaging unit in correspondence with each of the plurality of auxiliary images; and 
 displaying, as the information, an auxiliary image selected from the plurality of auxiliary images in a manner that the edge image overlaps the predetermined image. 
 
     
     
       18. The display control method in a display control device according to  claim 17 , wherein an edge of the selected auxiliary image is displayed. 
     
     
       19. The display control method in a display control device according to  claim 17 , wherein the selected auxiliary image is displayed transparently. 
     
     
       20. A non-transitory computer readable medium, having stored thereon a computer program having at least one code section executable by a computer, thereby causing the computer to perform a display control method, the method including:
 displaying a plurality of auxiliary images with different compositions together with a predetermined image acquired through an imaging unit; 
 displaying information that guides a user to move the imaging unit in correspondence with each of the plurality of auxiliary images; and 
 displaying, as the information, an auxiliary image selected from the plurality of images in a manner that the selected auxiliary image overlaps the predetermined image.
