Abstract
An imaging apparatus includes an exposure time setting circuit; an imaging sensor; a microcomputer that includes a synthesis process setting unit; an image processing circuit that includes an image synthesis circuit; and a display. The imaging sensor repeats exposure and output of an image signal at a specified time interval; the synthesis process setting unit sets, in the image synthesis circuit, a synthesis processing method for making brightness of a synthesized image generated by the image synthesis circuit to be specified brightness; the image synthesis circuit generates a synthesized image to be an image corresponding to an exposure time set by the exposure time setting circuit, by synthesizing a plurality of images based on image signals repeatedly output by the image sensor according to a synthesis processing method set by the synthesis process setting unit; and the display displays an image based on the synthesized image.
