Imaging apparatus

An imaging apparatus comprising:

• an imaging part to capture a subject so as to generate image data;
• an image processor to generate first image data having a first dynamic range relating to brightness based on the image data;
• an output part to output the first image data to an external equipment which is not compatible with reproduction of an image having the first dynamic range but is compatible with reproduction of an image having a second dynamic range narrower than the first dynamic range;
• and
• a controller to control a characteristic of the first image data when the first image data is output to the external equipment, the controller having a first mode in which when the first image data is output to the external equipment, the controller converts a color gamut of the first image data to a color gamut with which the external equipment is compatible without converting a gamma characteristic of the first image data.
