Imaging apparatus and recording medium with program recorded therein

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon a program that is executable by a computer in an imaging apparatus including a capturing section which captures an image at a first viewing angle and a memory for recording images, the program being executable by the computer to perform functions comprising:

• capturing control processing for performing consecutive image capturing at a predetermined cycle by the capturing section;
• setting processing for setting a plurality of areas to be captured at the first viewing angle so as to generate a composite image reproducing a captured image at a second viewing angle wider than the first viewing angle by combining a plurality of images acquired by a plurality of image capturing operations performed in the capturing control processing;
• judgment processing for judging whether or not a captured image in the consecutive image capturing in the capturing control processing is a suitable image for any one of the plurality of areas set in the setting processing;
• and
• recording control processing for corresponding the captured image with an area and recording the captured image in a memory, when the judgment processing judges that the captured image is a suitable image;
• wherein the judgment processing further judges whether or not the captured image in the consecutive image capturing by the capturing control section is more suitable for an area than previously recorded by corresponding a recorded image in comparison with a previously recorded image, when an image that was previously recorded in the record means exists.
