Abstract:
1. An imaging apparatus, comprising: a still image aspect ratio setting unit configured to set a set still image aspect ratio of a still image to be shot; a moving image aspect ratio setting unit configured to set a set moving image aspect ratio of a moving image to be shot; an instructing unit configured to instruct a capturing of a still image during a capturing of a moving image; a capturing unit configured to capture a still image according to the set still image aspect ratio while capturing a still image and capture a moving image according to the set moving image aspect ratio while capturing a moving image, wherein, while capturing a moving image as a captured moving image and in a case where the instructing unit instructs the capturing of a still image during the capturing of the moving image, the capturing unit captures the still image as a captured still image, according to the set still image aspect ratio and does not capture the still image, according to the set moving image aspect ratio, even if the set still image aspect ratio and set the moving image aspect ratio are not the same; a determining unit configured to determine whether a captured still image aspect ratio of the captured still image and a captured moving image aspect ratio of the captured moving image are the same; and an inserting unit configured to insert a captured still image into a missing part of a moving image caused by the capturing of the captured still image according to an instruction of the instructing unit, wherein in a case where the determining unit determines that the captured still image aspect ratio and the captured moving image aspect ratio are the same, the inserting unit inserts the captured still image utilizing the set still image aspect ratio, and in a case where the determining unit determines that the captured still image aspect ratio and the captured moving image aspect ratio are not the same, the inserting unit inserts a missing part still image utilizing the set moving image aspect ratio and does not insert the captured still image utilizing the set still image aspect ratio.
