A control unit includes a controller controlling a polarization state of a liquid crystal layer of a liquid-crystal low pass filter to be any of a first polarization state, a second polarization state, and an intermediate polarization state between the first polarization state and the second polarization state. In output of a plurality of image data from an imaging element, the controller controls the polarization state of the liquid crystal layer to be the first polarization state or the second polarization state when first image data of the image data is outputted, and the controller controls the polarization state of the liquid crystal layer to be the intermediate polarization state when one or more of second and subsequent ones of the image data are outputted.
