An image processing apparatus includes a control unit setting an exposure of an image to be captured, setting a quantity of images to be captured, and acquiring a plurality of image signals corresponding to the set quantity by controlling image capturing at the set exposure; a composing unit generating an additive composite image by additively composing the plurality of image signals; a live view image generating unit generating an image for live view; and a live view image display unit controlling a display unit to display the image for live view. The image for live view is an image displayed in real time before the control unit executes image capturing. The live view image generating unit generates simulation images corresponding to an exposure of the additive composite image as images for live view in accordance with the exposure and the quantity which are set.

Image processing apparatus, image capturing apparatus, control method of image processing apparatus, and storage medium

An apparatus includes an image sensor configured to capture a plurality of images different in in-focus position, at least one memory configured to store instructions, and at least one processor in communication with the at least one memory and configured to execute the instructions to determine a predetermined value of exposure in advance, control exposure so that the image sensor captures the plurality of images with the exposure less than the predetermined value, and correct brightness of at least a part of the plurality of images based on the predetermined value.

Imaging apparatus, imaging method, and storage medium for correcting brightness of an image based on a predetermined value of exposure

An apparatus includes a memory configured to store instructions and a processor in communication with the memory and configured to execute the instructions to generate a composite map from a plurality of images having different in in-focus position in an optical axis direction, correct the composite map, and combine the plurality of images using the composite map corrected by the correction unit to generate a composite image, wherein a depth of field of the composite image is deeper than a depth of field of each of the plurality of images, and further detect a first region surrounded by values each representing a composition ratio in the composite map and each different from an outer periphery by a first threshold or more, determine a correction value from a second region in the outer periphery of the first region, and correct the first region using the correction value.
