Abstract:
1. An imaging apparatus comprising: an imaging section which images a subject; a continuous shooting control section which controls the imaging section so as to continuously image the subject to continuously obtain still images; a setting section which sets a plurality of imaging conditions each being used for imaging one of the continuously obtained still images; an image recording section which records image data; a recording control section which controls, in the image recording section, recording of each image data obtained by imaging each of the continuously obtained still images; a condition recording section which records the plurality of imaging conditions in association with respective imaging scenes, wherein each of the plurality of imaging conditions is based on a plurality of imaging parameters each having a predetermined value; and a selection section which separately selects at least two of the imaging scenes in response to user operations, to thereby select a plurality of imaging scenes to be used in continuously imaging the still images of the subject; wherein the setting section sequentially reads from the condition recording section respective imaging conditions corresponding to the plurality of imaging scenes selected by the selection section, and the setting section sequentially sets the read imaging conditions for continuously imaging the still images; and wherein the continuous shooting control section controls the imaging section so as to continuously perform still image shootings using the respective different imaging conditions set by the setting section.
