Claim One:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: an image obtaining unit configured to obtain a plurality of images for lights of a plurality of wavelength regions by taking each image of an object at each in-focus position corresponding to the light of each wavelength region via an optical system; an image pickup information obtaining unit configured to obtain an image pickup state when each of the plurality of images is obtained; an optical transfer function obtaining unit configured to obtain an amount corresponding to an optical transfer function of the optical system at each image pickup state; an image restoration unit configured to restore the image for each wavelength region using the image and the amount corresponding to the optical transfer function; and an image synthesizer configured to synthesize a plurality of images that have been restored by the image restoration unit, wherein when there are a first object and a second object in a screen, the image restoration unit uses the amount corresponding to the optical transfer function for each wavelength region used to take the image of the first object at an in-focus position corresponding to the light of each wavelength region to restore images of both the first object and the second object.
