Abstract

An electronic camera includes an imager. An imager has an imaging surface capturing an optical image expressing a scene and outputs an electronic image corresponding to the optical image. An acquirer acquires a plurality of electronic images outputted from the imager at a plurality of timings different to one another. A detector detects a motion of the imaging surface in association with a process of the acquirer. A definer defines an image region of a predefined size expressing a scene common among the plurality of electronic images acquired by the acquirer, with reference to a detection result of the detector. A combiner combines a plurality of partial images belonging to the image region defined by the definer, out of the plurality of electronic images acquired by the acquirer.
