Abstract
An imaging apparatus includes an imaging part for capturing a subject image, a touch panel for acquiring a touch position input by a user, and a control part for controlling an imaging operation performed by the imaging part. The control part acquires the touch position to cause the imaging part to perform the imaging operation each time the touch position is displaced on the touch panel by a predetermined amount repeatedly during a continuous touch user input.
