Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes: an image sensor that captures a subject image formed to generate image data; a recorder that records first image data showing images sequentially captured by the image sensor at a shooting period; and a controller operates the image sensor with a frame period shorter than half period of the shooting period, to generate one or plural frames of second image data by capturing in another frame period than the frame period for capturing the first image data within the shooting period. The second image data shows an image used for control in the imaging apparatus, captured with a setting different from a setting for the first image data. The control is performed based on a plurality of frames of image data including the one or plural frames of second image data, the plurality of frames being obtained by multiple times of capturing in the shooting period.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes: an image sensor capturing an image of a subject via an optical system including a focus lens, and generating image data; a distance measuring part calculating a subject distance and a movement distance of the subject by using the generated image data; and a controller that performs an auto-focus action by using the calculated subject distance or movement distance. The distance measuring part uses: first image data when the subject lies at the first position; second image data when the subject lies at the second position; and a PSF of the optical system corresponding to a focused position of the subject lying at the first position, thereby finding a distance between the first position and the second position, and calculating the subject distance and the movement distance of the subject for an image indicated by the second image data based on the found distance.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes: an image sensor that captures a subject image by receiving incident light to generate image data; an adjuster that adjusts a light reception rate in each position on an incident surface entered by the light and corresponding to an image indicated by the image data, the light reception rate allowing the image sensor to receive the light; a detector that detects a skin region corresponding to a part with skin of a subject indicated by the subject image in the image; and a controller that controls the adjuster to render the light reception rate in a position corresponding to a part of the image on the incident surface different from the light reception rate in another position thereon, wherein the controller compensates exposure of a part corresponding to the skin region detected by the detector to bring luminance in the skin region within a predetermined range.
