Patent ID: 7948526

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; a selecting section which selects an arbitrary piece of image data from among the pieces of image data acquired by the image acquiring section based on a user operation; a lagged-timing information acquiring section which acquires lagged-timing information indicating a lag between a timing at which the image data selected by the selecting section is picked up by the consecutive imaging controlling section and the timing indicated by the timing indicating section; and a controlling section which specifies a piece of image data picked up at a timing determined based on the lagged-timing information acquired by the lagged-timing information acquiring section, and which controls display of a plurality of pieces of image data acquired by the image acquiring section based on the specified piece of image data; wherein the controlling section displays at least one piece of image data picked up near the timing determined based on the lagged-timing information acquired by the lagged-timing information acquiring section at a speed slower than a reproduction speed of other pieces of image data picked up at a timing other than that near said timing.
