Patent ID: 8094203

Claim:
An imaging apparatus comprising: an imaging section for imaging a subject; a first imaging controlling section for controlling the imaging section to repeatedly perform imaging in a first exposure condition; a second imaging controlling section for controlling the imaging section to repeatedly perform imaging in a second exposure condition that is different from the first exposure condition such that the imaging in the second exposure condition repeatedly interposes the imaging in the first exposure condition which is repeatedly performed by the first imaging controlling section; a first generation section for generating a first moving image data based on a plurality of frame image data acquired by repeated imaging performed by the first imaging controlling section; a second generation section for generating a second moving image data based on a plurality of frame image data acquired by repeated imaging performed by the second imaging controlling section; and a selection section for selecting one of the exposure conditions from the first exposure condition and the second exposure condition; wherein the first imaging controlling section controls the imaging section to repeatedly perform imaging in the first exposure condition at a frequency higher than a frequency of imaging repeatedly performed by the second imaging controlling section in the second exposure condition, when the first exposure condition is selected by the selection section, and the second imaging controlling section controls the imaging section to repeatedly perform imaging in the second exposure condition at a frequency higher than a frequency of imaging repeatedly performed by the first imaging controlling section in the first exposure condition, when the second exposure condition is selected by the selection section.
