According to the present invention, an imaging apparatus includes: an imaging unit which acquires image data by an imaging lens forming an image of an object on an imaging surface on which imaging pixels are arrayed; a designated position acquiring unit which acquires a designated position on the image data; a sighting device which allows a user to visually recognize an optical axial direction of the imaging lens; and a controller which, on the image data, adjusts a position of an object on an imaging optical axis of the imaging lens, based on the designated position.
