Abstract:
1. An imaging apparatus, comprising: an image pickup device configured to output an image signal; an analog image processing device having an A/D converter configured to convert the output image signal from the image pickup device into a digital image signal and transfer the digital image signal; a digital image processing device configured to load the transferred digital image signal and perform an image processing on the loaded digital image signal; a clock generator configured to supply a clock having a frequency to each of the image pickup device, the analog image processing device, and the digital image processing device to drive the image pickup device, the analog image processing device and the digital image processing device at a predetermined driving frequency; and a controller configured to perform a monitoring stop processing to stop the transfer of the digital image signal from the analog image processing device and the image processing of the digital image processing device, wherein the clock generator is configured to change the frequency of the clock to drive the image pickup device, the analog image processing device, and the digital image processing device at a higher driving frequency than the predetermined driving frequency in a case where the controller performs the monitoring stop processing in a state where the image pickup device, the analog image processing device, and the digital image processing device are driven at the predetermined driving frequency.
