Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: a memory configured to store first correction data created based on defective pixel signals output from an image sensor set to a first condition, second correction data created based on defective pixel signals output from the image sensor set to a second condition which is different from the first condition, and third correction data created based on defective pixel signals output from the image sensor set to a third condition which is different from the first condition and the second condition; and a correcting unit configured to correct defective pixel signals output from the image sensor using the first correction data, the second correction, and the third correction data, wherein the correcting unit uses the third correction data in priority to the first correction data to correct the defective pixel signals, and uses the first correction data in priority to the second correction data to correct the defective pixel signals.
