Title:
IMAGING APPARATUS AND IMAGING METHOD
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2017041736
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an imaging apparatus etc. capable of obtaining a natural composite image having mitigated discontinuity in exposure and subject distortion.SOLUTION: An imaging apparatus 1 includes: an image sensor 23 which reads out an image at time Te; a mechanical shutter 22 which performs open and close operation in a running time Tm satisfying Te>Tm; a system control unit 10 which controls the mechanical shutter 22 to cause a time from opening to closing to be T1, and also causes the image sensor 23 to continuously read out a plurality of image frames in a time T2 satisfying T1>T2; and an image composition unit which generates a composite image from the plurality of frame images. The system control unit 10 performs control in a manner that electric charges exposed in arbitrary pixels at time T1 are thoroughly read out.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
