PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve imaging processing at a part of the image according to an operation in a composite imaging such as a bulb photographing and a composite photographing during imaging so as to easily obtain a desired composite image.SOLUTION: An imaging apparatus comprises: an imaging unit which repeatedly photographs a subject to output a series of multiple photographed images for composition; an accumulation control unit which accumulates the photographed images; an image designation unit which designates image portion of the prescribed subject included in the images among the photographed images as an object image portion; a correction unit which corrects an image signal corresponding to the object image portion in the images including the object image portion; and a composition unit which composes a series of photographed images including the images in which the object image portion is corrected to obtain a composite image.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】 撮影時に、バルブ撮影やコンポジット撮影等の合成撮影において、画像中の一部の画像部分について操作に応じた画像処理を施すことを可能にすることにより、希望する合成画像を簡単に取得する。【解決手段】 撮像装置は、被写体を繰り返し撮像して合成用の一連の複数の撮像画像を出力する撮像部と、上記複数の撮像画像を蓄積するための蓄積制御部と、上記複数の撮像画像のうちの複数の画像に含まれる所定の被写体の画像部分を対象画像部分として指定する画像指定部と、上記対象画像部分を含む複数の画像中の上記対象画像部分に対応する像信号を補正する補正部と、上記対象画像部分が補正された画像を含む上記一連の複数の撮像画像を合成して合成画像を得る合成部と、を具備する。【選択図】図１
