Abstract
An imaging apparatus includes an imaging element, an imaging lens, an AF controller, an image synthesis unit, and a display. The imaging element captures multiple images of an object to obtain a plurality of image data. The imaging lens includes a focus lens and is used for generating an image of the object in the imaging element. The AF controller controls a focus state of the imaging lens. The image synthesis unit synthesizes a region with a large amount of blurriness in image data of a current frame and a region with a small amount of blurriness in image data of a preceding frame obtained before the image data of the current frame, among the plurality of image data obtained by the imaging element by the plurality of times of image capturing during the drive of the focus lens. The display displays an image synthesized by the image synthesis unit.
