Abstract
Provided is an imaging apparatus that obtains a video with a resolution of satisfactory quality and a small angle of view from a video with a large angle of view through real-time image processing. An imaging apparatus has an imaging element that captures an optical image of a standard video with a first angle of view, and a control unit that includes a first mode and a second mode as a video imaging mode and records video data of a video based on the optical image. The control unit executes first recording processing of recording video data of the standard video using the imaging element in the first mode. The control unit executes setting processing of setting a recording region with a second angle of view smaller than the first angle of view in the standard video and second recording processing of recording a video data of a recorded video of the recording region in the second mode. In the first recording processing and the second recording processing, thinning-out drive to thin out a part of readout of a plurality of pixels in the optical image is executed. A second thinning-out rate of the thinning-out drive of the second recording processing is set to be lower than a first thinning-out rate of the thinning-out drive of the first recording processing.
