Claim:
1. 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 in which a subject is captured, the plurality of focus detection pixels being arrayed in a predetermined direction in such a manner that different colors thereof alternate; a color ratio detection unit configured to detect a color ratio based on a pixel value output from a pixel in a position surrounding a processing target pixel; a color conversion unit configured to generate a first pixel value by applying color conversion, using 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 addition unit configured to generate 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.
