    Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes: an imaging unit; an image clipping unit configured to clip a predetermined area from each of images; an analyzing unit configured to analyze the sequentially clipped predetermined areas and generate an analysis result indicating an identified subject; an autofocus (AF) target determination unit configured to determine an AF target in the images based on the analysis result; an AF mode determination unit configured to select and determine an optimal AF mode based on the analysis result and a determination result; a touch panel; an input detection unit; and an imaging control unit configured to repeat control of moving a position of the predetermined area, causing the analyzing unit to analyze the predetermined area of a latest image, causing the AF target determination unit to determine the AF target, and causing the AF mode determination unit to select and determine the optimal AF mode.

    Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes: an imager including an imaging sensor configured to acquire an optical image; and a processor configured to: perform pixel displacement to displace a positional relationship between a subject and the imager in a unit of a pixel pitch or less; detect an amount and a direction of a shake; perform shake correction to correct the positional relationship between the subject and the imager based on a detection result; perform first imaging for a first predetermined number of times for each position of the pixel displacement to generate a first group of images; combine the images of the first group to generate a first high-resolution image; perform second imaging for a second predetermined number of times for each position of the pixel displacement to generate a second group of images; and combine the images of the second group to generate a second high-resolution image.
