Abstract: An image-capturing apparatus includes the following. An image-capturing unit performs exposure of each frame to generate a captured image of a subject. A changing unit changes an image-capturing direction of the image-capturing unit. A control unit controls the changing unit to change the image-capturing direction of the image-capturing unit. The control unit determines a valid term in which the image-capturing direction is changed according to an exposure term of the image-capturing unit. The control unit controls the changing unit to change the image-capturing direction during the determined valid term.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes a captured image acquisition unit, a combination sequence determination unit, and an image combination unit. The captured image acquisition unit acquires data of multiple captured images that have been imaged at multiple focus positions. The combination sequence determination unit determines a sequence of the images imaged by an imaging unit, the sequence being different from both a progressive sequence of focus distances and a sequence of imaging, to be a sequence for combining the data of the multiple captured images acquired by the captured image acquisition unit. The image combination unit combines the multiple captured images imaged by the imaging unit, in the order determined by the combination sequence determination unit, creating data of an omnifocal image.

Abstract: An image capture apparatus including a timing generator that generates a frame synchronization signal with a constant cycle receives a reference signal generated at a predetermined interval based on a predetermined reference cycle, compares generation timing of the reference signal received with generation timing of the frame synchronization signal generated by the timing generator, and adjusts a generation cycle of the frame synchronization signal generated by the timing generator based on a result of the comparison.

Abstract: The present invention can easily acquire images having a uniform aspect ratio. In an imaging device of the invention, a control section detects the movement amount and the movement direction of the imaging device based on output from an acceleration sensor. Then, when the movement direction of the imaging device in its initial movement started at the beginning of imaging is substantially linear and a substantially horizontal or vertical direction, the control section calculates a reference movement amount by which a composite image having a predetermined aspect ratio can be generated, based on the movement amount of the imaging device, and controls the display section to display imaging area information (guide) indicating the final imaging area having the predetermined aspect ratio based on the reference movement amount.
