Abstract
In the imaging apparatus, the image processor combines the data of the plurality of the images so as to generate data of a still image deeper in depth of field. The image processor performs alignment of two images to be combined. In a case where the alignment achieves success, the image processor combines the data of the two images. In a case where the alignment ends in failure and yet where a difference between focus positions of the two images is smaller than a predetermined value, the image processor does not combine the data of the two images. In a case where the alignment ends in failure and yet where the difference between the focus positions of the two images is not smaller than the predetermined value, the image processor combines the data of the two images.
