Abstract
Provided is an imaging apparatus including a mode control unit. The mode control unit shifts, when a motion is detected on a motion detection mode to detect the motion on the basis of image information, the mode to a feature detection mode to detect features on the basis of image information having a higher resolution than a resolution of the image information that is used for the motion detection. The mode control unit shifts, when a specific feature is detected on the feature detection mode, the mode to an imaging mode to acquire image information having a higher resolution than the resolution of the image information that is used for the feature detection.
