Abstract
An imaging apparatus including: an image sensor for obtaining image data; a highlight signal generation circuit for generating a highlight signal from the image data; a highlight signal combining circuit for combining a plurality of the highlight signals to generate a combined highlight signal; a display image generation circuit for superimposing the combined highlight signal on the image data to generate display image data; and a controller for moving the focusing position to a different focus position, obtaining first image data and second image data, causing the highlight signal generation circuit to generate first and second highlight signals from these pieces of image data, causing the highlight signal combining circuit to combine the first and second highlight signals to generate a combined highlight signal, and causing the display image generation circuit to superimpose the combined highlight signal on the second image data to generate display image data.
