Claim One:
1. An imaging apparatus comprising: a monitoring section which performs a monitoring operation of waiting for an image capture instruction while causing a live view image to be displayed; a development section which starts development processing for generating a recording image for recording from a RAW image captured by an image pickup element when an instruction to perform image capturing is made while the monitoring operation is being performed, and continuously performs the development processing concurrently with the monitoring operation; a recording section which records the recording image obtained by the development processing after the development processing performed by the development section concurrently with the monitoring operation is completed; a judgment section which judges a processing status of the development processing being performed by the development section while the monitoring operation is being performed; and a display control section which causes the processing status of the development processing judged by the judgment section to be displayed together with the live view image while the monitoring operation is being performed, wherein the judgment section sequentially judges whether the development processing being performed by the development section has been completed while the monitoring operation is being performed, and wherein the display control section: starts display of a development-complete image indicating that the development processing has been completed together with the live view image, at a timing at which the development processing is judged to have been completed by the judgment section; continues the display of the development-complete image until a predetermined time elapses after the development-complete image is started to be displayed; and controls the display of the development-complete image such that the development-complete image gradually disappears when the predetermined time has elapsed.
