Abstract

In an imaging apparatus, a pupil division optical system includes a first pupil transmitting light of a first wavelength band and a second pupil transmitting light of a second wavelength band different from the first wavelength band. An imaging device is configured to capture an image of light transmitted through the pupil division optical system and a first color filter having a first transmittance characteristic and light transmitted through the pupil division optical system and a second color filter having a second transmittance characteristic partially overlapping the first transmittance characteristic, and output the captured image. A processor is configured to generate a monochrome correction image or a correction image by correcting a value that is based on components overlapping between the first transmittance characteristic and the second transmittance characteristic for the captured image.
