Abstract
Upon capturing an image, distances to subjects are measured. The captured image is divided into a plurality of different layers that each has a set distance interval, so that subjects which are located within the same distance range belong to the same layer. Furthermore, enlargement ratios are set for the plurality of divided layers to execute resizing processing, and the resized layers are composited, so that layers having shorter distances to a subject are overlaid as upper layers, thereby obtaining an image which is resized for respective distances to subjects.
