Abstract:
Provided is a video recording apparatus that can generate image signals to increase a difference in amount of blur in recording video using a rolling shutter during wobbling, and includes: an image sensor that generates an image signal corresponding to an image; a driving unit that drives a focus lens along an optical axis; and a control unit that controls the driving unit for controlling a focus in an optical system, while the focus lens is wobbling, wherein the control unit (i) generates blur signals to increase a difference in amount of blur in a predetermined region by controlling imaging timings at which the image sensor captures the image, (ii) calculates distance information on a distance to the object to be displayed in the region, using blur signals in the region among the generated blur signals, and (iii) controls the focus using the distance information.
Abstract:
An imaging apparatus including: an imaging unit that images an object and generates imaging data; an image processor that generates image data from the imaging data, and generates an imaging check-purpose image from the image data; and a displaying unit that displays the imaging check-purpose image. The image processor detects a blur amount of the image data, and calculates information relating to a distance to the object using the blur amount. The image processor determines a focus state of the image data, and divides the image data into a first region including a focused region and a second region which is a region other than the first region. The image processor generates the imaging check-purpose image by performing, on the image data, enhancement processing of enhancing a visual difference between the image data of the first region and the image data of the second region using the distance-relating information.
