Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes an imaging element, an imaging lens, an AF controller, an image synthesis unit, and a display. The imaging element captures multiple images of an object to obtain a plurality of image data. The imaging lens includes a focus lens and is used for generating an image of the object in the imaging element. The AF controller controls a focus state of the imaging lens. The image synthesis unit synthesizes a region with a large amount of blurriness in image data of a current frame and a region with a small amount of blurriness in image data of a preceding frame obtained before the image data of the current frame, among the plurality of image data obtained by the imaging element by the plurality of times of image capturing during the drive of the focus lens. The display displays an image synthesized by the image synthesis unit.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes an imaging section, a display section, an image analysis section, and an auxiliary image creating section. The imaging section images an object to acquire image data concerning the object. The display section displays an image based on the image data. The image analysis section analyzes features of the image data. The auxiliary image creating section determines at least one piece of application processing useful for confirmation of a focus state of the object in the image displayed in the display section from the analyzed features of the image data, sets imaging conditions of the imaging section in correspondence with the determined application processing, and then operates the imaging section to create an auxiliary image.
