Abstract

An imaging element outputs a display image with a low pixel count obtained as a result of thinning pixels included in the imaging element during the exposure period of a recording image with a high pixel count. A recording image correction unit receives an input of the recording image from a frame memory after an elapse of the exposure period, and corrects the pixel value of a defective pixel caused by the output of the display image from the imaging element, among pixels included in the recording image, by using the value of addition of the pixel values of display images output during the exposure period of the recording image, so that the pixel value of the defective pixel is corrected to the similar pixel value as that in the case of performing an exposure process for the exposure period of the recording image.
