Abstract:
An imaging apparatus including a frame buffer executes high-speed shooting consecutively in plural sessions. An imaging element includes a buffer, an image producing unit, a managing unit, and an output unit. The image producing unit produces an image in the case where an empty capacity of any of plural areas in the buffer exceeds a predetermined threshold value. The managing unit causes an area whose empty capacity exceeds the predetermined threshold value, of the plural areas to retain the image as a buffering image. The output unit extracts the buffering image from the buffer and outputting the buffering image, in order of the retention of the buffering image.

Claim (Index 9):
A control method for an imaging element, the control method comprising:\n an image producing procedure of producing an image in a case where an empty capacity of any of a plurality of areas in a buffer that has the plurality of areas disposed therein exceeds a predetermined threshold value; a managing procedure of causing an area whose empty capacity exceeds the predetermined threshold value, of the plurality of areas to retain the image as a buffering image; and an output procedure of extracting the buffering image from the buffer and outputting the buffering image, in order of the retention of the buffering image.
