In a decoding method for decoding coded light ray information, coded first image information and coded second image information different from the first image information are decoded. The first image information and the second image information are obtained in taking a subject. The light ray information is generated based on the decoded first and second image information. Image information corresponding to a first focus value is generated and stored in a storage medium, based on the generated light ray information. An image is displayed based on the image information corresponding to the first focus value. Image information corresponding to a second focus value different from the first focus value is generated and stored in the storage medium, based on the generated light ray information. The image information corresponding to the second focus value is generated and stored, while the image is displayed or before the image is displayed.

Target pixel blocks are picked up from a target image selected from a plurality of images picked up by an imaging device, motion vectors of these target pixel blocks are calculated between two images, and affine transformation coefficients for blur correction is calculated based on the motion vectors. Weighting coefficients are set for target pixel blocks based on a confidence level of the calculated motion vectors with respect to the image blur. For example, motion vectors in peripheral portion of the image is usually large in size, so that the confidence level of these may be enhanced.
