Some embodiments of an image processing apparatus comprise a processor to execute instructions. The instructions are for detecting feature points from images in a first plurality of images that at least partially overlap in angle of view and have different focus positions and from at least one second image, calculating a first conversion coefficient from the feature points, combining the images in the first plurality of images based on the first conversion coefficient, calculating a second conversion coefficient of at least a part of the images in the first plurality of images by using the feature points detected from the second image, and combining the at least a part of the images in the first plurality of images by using the second conversion coefficient, wherein a depth of field in the second image is deeper than a respective depth of field in each image in the first plurality of images.
