An imaging method uses an imaging device including a taking lens having a plurality of regions each with an independent characteristic and an image pickup element having a plurality of light-receiving sensors provided so as to correspond to the plurality of regions, the plurality of light-receiving sensors performing pupil division of a light beam passing through any of the plurality of regions for selective light-receiving, from an imaging signal from a light-receiving sensor corresponding to one region of the plurality of regions, an image corresponding to the one region is generated. When the generated image is corrected, an influence of a light beam passing through a region other than the one region is removed from the image generated so as to correspond to the one region.
