Abstract:
1. An imaging apparatus, comprising: an imaging unit configured to capture an object image to output an image signal of the captured object image; a processing unit configured to perform a signal processing on the image signal, wherein the processing unit includes a cyclic noise reduction unit configured to reduce a noise of the image signal; a parameter change unit configured to change a parameter concerning at least one of an imaging by the imaging unit and the signal processing by the processing unit; and a coefficient change unit configured to change a cyclic coefficient of the cyclic noise reduction unit, wherein, when the parameter change unit changes the parameter, the coefficient change unit changes the cyclic coefficient from a first cyclic coefficient to a second cyclic coefficient, wherein the first cyclic coefficient corresponds to a state before the change of the parameter and the second cyclic coefficient corresponds to a change pattern of the parameter changed by the parameter change unit, and changes the cyclic coefficient from the second cyclic coefficient to a third cyclic coefficient that corresponds to a state after the change of the parameter.
