Abstract
An imaging apparatus enables the fixed pattern noise data to be refreshed at any time without necessitating a backup power source or the like, while realizing high-quality image capturing and various modes of operation. This imaging apparatus comprises a non-volatile memory for storing a fixed pattern noise data for each pixel of an imaging device and a frame memory which can store an integrated value of image data for each pixel among a plurality of frames. The data read out from the respective memories and the output of the imaging device can be mutually operated by a processor and a controller. In order to record the output data of the processor, a signal recording processor is provided.
