Patent ID: 8817133

Claim:
An imaging apparatus comprising: a consecutive imaging controlling section which consecutively images a subject; a timing indicating section which allows a user to indicate an arbitrary timing; an image acquiring section which acquires a plurality of pieces of image data picked up by the consecutive imaging controlling section based on the timing indicated by the timing indicating section; an acquiring section which acquires an imaging situation; a frame rate selecting section which allows the user to select a frame rate at which the consecutive imaging is performed by the consecutive imaging controlling section; a lagged-timing information acquiring section which acquires lagged-timing information based on the imaging situation acquired by the acquiring section and based on the frame rate selected by the frame rate selecting section; and a controlling section which, based on the arbitrary timing indicated by the timing indicating section and based on the lagged-timing information acquired by the lagged-timing information acquiring section, specifies a piece of image data from among the plurality of pieces of image data acquired by the image acquiring section.
