Abstract

An imaging apparatus comprising an image sensor including a plurality of focus detection pixels for generating a focus detection image and a plurality of imaging pixels for generating a captured image, a color ratio detection unit detecting a color ratio based on a pixel value output from a pixel in a position surrounding a processing target pixel, a color conversion unit generating a first pixel value by applying color conversion with the color ratio to a pixel value output from a pixel that is located in the predetermined direction of the processing target pixel, and an adding unit generating a third pixel value by adding a second pixel value output from the processing target pixel with the first pixel value having the same color as the second pixel value.
