Patent ID: 8520125

Claim:
An image capture device comprising: a first optical system that has a longitudinal chromatic aberration to cause first, second and third colors to form images at mutually different positions on an optical axis; a first image capturing region for generating an image that has a component in at least one of the first, second and third colors by using light that has been transmitted through the first optical system; a second optical system that has a different longitudinal chromatic aberration from that of the first optical system; a second image capturing region for generating an image that has a component in the same color as the at least one color by using light that has been transmitted through the second optical system; and an arithmetic processing section for generating an output image by using one of the two images that has been generated in the first or second image capturing region so as to have the component in the at least one color apiece and that has the component with the higher degree of sharpness.
