Imaging device, method for controlling imaging device, and storage medium storing a control program

Abstract

Efficient thinned reading is performed in a case in which an image pickup device equipped with a color filter having an array different from a Bayer array is employed. An imaging apparatus () includes: an image pickup device () containing plural photoelectric conversion elements arrayed in first and second directions; a color filter having a repeatedly disposed basic array pattern of array lines that include the first and second filters in the second direction, and include a plurality of matching array lines that have the same array as each other along the second direction, and at least one array line that has a different array for the first or second filters in the second direction to that of the matching array lines; and an image processing section () that reads pixel signals of the plural pixels at a set cycle from the image pickup device (), generates line image data for each of the matching array lines in the basic array pattern from out of the plural pixels, and sums together pixels that are the same color pixel as each other in the generated line image data, and generates image data based on the line image data that has been pixel summed.
