Abstract
An image capturing unitacquires a plurality of images being temporally continuous. Based on external operations from a key input unit, a control unitselects an image serving as reference of synthesis, from the plurality of images acquired by the image capturing unit. An image processing unitcompares the reference image selected by the key input unitwith other images acquired by the image capturing unit, and detects an image with a difference value being higher than a predetermined threshold value as a result of such comparison. The image processing unitsets a synthetic rate, based on the image thus detected. A synthesis unitgenerates a single image by executing synthesis of the plurality of acquired images including the image serving as reference, by using the synthetic rate that is set by the image processing unit
