Abstract:
1. An imaging device that captures a subject, generates image data of the subject, and captures a moving image and a still image, the device comprising: an image processing unit that executes artistic effect processing of applying an artistic effect causing a visual effect to the image data by a combination of a plurality of image processing, and executes moving image special effect processing of applying a moving image special effect causing a visual effect over a plurality of frames; a moving image special effect start signal input unit that receives an input of a moving image special effect start signal instructing a start of the moving image special effect processing in the image processing unit; an image processing control unit that switches artistic effect processing to be executed by the image processing unit in response to the input of the moving image special effect start signal when a plurality of kinds of processing remain set as artistic effect processing performed by the image processing unit; a display unit that displays the image data; and a storage unit that stores information including the image data, wherein the image processing control unit increases a time necessary to switch the artistic effect processing when the imaging device is in the process of storing image data of a moving image in the storage unit larger than when the imaging device is in the process of performing a live-view display on the image data through the display unit.
