Abstract
An imaging apparatus includes an imaging unit configured to output an image signal, a first image processing unit, and a second image processing unit. The first image processing unit includes a first signal processing unit that generates a first image signal from the input image signal, and a second image signal including a smaller number of signals than signals included in the first image signal and corresponding to a first imaging region. The second image processing unit includes a second input portion that receives the first image signal from a first output portion and a second signal processing unit. The second signal processing unit generates, from the first image signal, a third image signal that includes a smaller number of signals than the signals included in the first image signal and corresponds to a second imaging region that is only a part of the first imaging region.
