An image shooting apparatus comprising: an optical system, comprising one or more than one lenses (112a, 1 !2b, 112c) or a lens (112a, 112b, 112c) and an optical element; an image shooting element, configured at a location further to the rear of the optical system; an image recovery processing portion (150, 150A, 150B, 150C), configured to perform image processing and recovery processing on image data obtained by the image shooting element; and a recovered image output portion, configured to output an image recovered by the image recovery processing portion (150, 150A, 150B, 150C); wherein the image recovery processing portion (150, 150A, 150B, 150C) comprises: a recovery filter storage portion (154, 154C), configured to store multiple recovery filters (155Cc2) pre-manufactured by using multiple point spread functions corresponding to multiple different distances; an image area designation portion, configured to designate an image area from image data obtained by the image shooting element; a recovery filter processing portion (153, 153B, 153C), configured to obtain multiple middle candidate images respectively recovered by using the stored pre-manufactured multiple recovery filters (155Cc2) according to the designated image area; and an image comment portion (155, 155B, 155C), configured to separately comment on profiles of the multiple candidate images to output one of the multiple candidate images as an optimal middle candidate image that represents the recovery processing result, characterized in that the image recovery processing portion (150, 150A, 150B, 150C) further comprises: an excluded area designation portion, configured to designate an area, which should be excluded from each multiple candidate image by the image comment portion (155, 155B, 155C), and the image recovery processing portion (150,150A,150B,150C) is further configured to decompose the designated image area of the image area designation portion into color signals and to further obtain the recovery filters per color signal, and to synthesize the optimal middle candidate image for each of the color signals. an optical system, comprising one or more than one lenses (112a, 1 !2b, 112c) or a lens (112a, 112b, 112c) and an optical element;
