Abstract
An imaging apparatus includes: an image sensor that captures a subject image by receiving light of a plurality of colors, to generate image data; a controller that controls the image sensor; and an adjuster that adjusts a light reception rate, in each position on an incident surface, the light reception rate allowing the image sensor to receive the light color by color, the incident surface being entered by the light corresponding to an image represented by the image data. The controller controls the adjuster to render the light reception rate of a specific first color in a position corresponding to part of the image on the incident surface different from the light reception rate of a first color in other positions, and causes the image sensor to capture the image with the light reception rate of the first color rendered different by the adjuster, generating image data representing the image.
