Abstract
An imaging apparatus includes an imaging section, a display section, an image analysis section, and an auxiliary image creating section. The imaging section images an object to acquire image data concerning the object. The display section displays an image based on the image data. The image analysis section analyzes features of the image data. The auxiliary image creating section determines at least one piece of application processing useful for confirmation of a focus state of the object in the image displayed in the display section from the analyzed features of the image data, sets imaging conditions of the imaging section in correspondence with the determined application processing, and then operates the imaging section to create an auxiliary image.
