Abstract:
1. A digital camera comprising: an image-capturing device that captures a subject image; an exposure control device that implements control on a length of exposure time to elapse while capturing the subject image at said image-capturing device; an image generating device that generates a plurality of sets of image data through successive image-capturing operations performed over varying exposure times by controlling said image-capturing device and said exposure control device, the exposure times being different from one another; and an image processing device that generates image data in which the blur has been corrected by implementing image processing based upon the plurality of sets of image data generated by said image generating device, wherein: said image generating device successively generates first image data by capturing an image over a first exposure time and second image data by capturing an image over a second exposure time set longer than the first exposure time, a high-frequency component of an entire spatial frequency spectrum of the second image data being less than a high-frequency component of an entire spatial frequency spectrum of the first image data; and said image processing device generates third image data in which the blur has been corrected by correcting at least the high-frequency component of the spatial frequency contained in the second image data based upon the first image data and the second image data generated by said image generating device.
