Title:
IMAGING APPARATUS AND DRIVING METHOD OF THE SAME
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2019186847
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a mechanism capable of miniaturizing an imaging apparatus configured so as to switch a plurality of optical filters.SOLUTION: At least one optical filter 121a of a plurality of optical filters 121a and 121b is configured so as to transmit light made incident on a predetermined area which is a partial area of the light-receiving surface 131 of an imaging element 130. When an optical filter unit 120 is driven to move the optical filter 121a to a plurality of different positions, the imaging element 130 captures a plurality of images 210 and 220 based on the light made incident on the light-receiving surface 131, including the light transmitted through the optical filter 121a in the plurality of positions. Image synthesizing means synthesizes the plurality of images 210 and 220 captured by the imaging element 130, to acquire a synthetic image 230.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
