Abstract:
All image capturing apparatus includes an interval shooting section ( 51 ) that performs an interval shooting process, a lighten compositing section ( 54 ) that performs a lighten compositing process using images captured one by one by the interval shooting process, and a composite-image-in-progress displaying section ( 55 ) that, when a first operation is performed, causes a composite image in a first memory area, which is used as a compositing buffer for the lighten compositing process, to be displayed on an LCD monitor without causing the interval shooting process to be stopped.

Claim (Index 1):
An image capturing apparatus including an image sensor, a storage section, and a display section, the image capturing apparatus comprising:\n an interval shooting section that performs an interval shooting process that is a process that repeatedly performs exposure of and reading from the image sensor at predetermined intervals to capture a plurality of images one by one; a lighten compositing section that performs a lighten compositing process using a first image and a second image of the plurality of images captured by the interval shooting, process one by one, the first image being an initial image among the plurality of images, the second image being captured subsequent to the first image, and stores a result of the lighten compositing process as a composite image in the storage section, and, as for each image of third and following images, the third image being captured subsequent to the second image, performs the lighten compositing process using the each image and the composite image stored in the storage section and stores a result of the lighten compositing process as a new composite image in the storage section; and a composite-image display section that, when a first operation is performed, causes the display section to display the composite image stored in the storage section without causing the interval shooting process to be stopped.
