Imaging method and imaging apparatus

An imaging apparatus comprising:

• an imaging sensor that captures a subject image;
• a moving mechanism configured to change a relative position between the subject image and the imaging sensor;
• and
• a processor,
• wherein the processor is configured to execute
• a changing process of changing the relative position a plurality of times,
• an imaging process of acquiring a plurality of first images by capturing the subject image using the imaging sensor at a plurality of the relative positions,
• a combining process of generating a second image by combining the plurality of first images,
• a determination process of determining whether or not the combining process is executable based on whether or not at least one of the plurality of first images satisfies a first condition,
• wherein the combining process is executed in a case in which an affirmative determination is made in the determination process, and
• wherein a process content of the imaging process is changed in a case in which a negative determination is made;
• and
• a display process of performing a temporal display relating to the imaging process or the combining process.
