Summary: | An imaging apparatus includes an imaging element, a readout unit, and a signal processing unit. The imaging element includes pixels that have photoelectric conversion units for one micro lens. The readout unit performs a first readout operation on pixels included in a first region of the imaging element to read signals according to accumulated electric charges, and performs a second readout operation on pixels included in a second region different from the first region to read signals according to accumulated electric charges. The signal processing unit makes a correction for reducing noise levels to the signals readout by the readout unit. The signal processing unit makes the correction to the signals acquired from the first region such that differences between noise levels included in the signals read by the first readout operation and the second readout operation become smaller after the correction by the signal processing unit. |
