Abstract

An imaging apparatus includes an imaging unit, a storage unit, an image processing unit, an image signal output unit, and a timing control unit. The timing control unit generates a first vertical synchronizing signal for driving the imaging unit and supplies the first vertical synchronizing signal to the imaging unit, and generates a second vertical synchronizing signal which is obtained by delaying the first vertical synchronizing signal at least by a predetermined time which is variable according to contents of the image processing performed and supplies the second vertical synchronizing signal to the display unit. The timing control unit controls the image signal output unit so that the image signal is read from the storage unit by being delayed by a phase difference between the first vertical synchronizing signal and the second vertical synchronizing signal, after outputting of the imaging signal from the imaging unit.
