Image processing apparatus, image processing method, image processing program, and imaging apparatus

An image processing method of generating a main image as an image satisfying a main composition condition indicating a regarding a predetermined composition, comprising:

• determining whether a captured image obtained through imaging of an imaging unit satisfies a preliminary composition condition which is based on the main composition condition;
• executing a process of obtaining a preliminary image as an image satisfying the preliminary composition condition in accordance with the determination result;
• generating the main image by processing the preliminary image obtained through the process based on the main composition condition;
• and
• executing, by an image processing unit, a trimming process on the preliminary image so that a position of a subject satisfies the main composition condition, when the position of the subject is set as the main composition condition.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing an image processing program causing a computer to execute an image processing method of generating a main image as an image satisfying a main composition condition indicating a condition regarding a predetermined composition, the image processing method including

• determining whether a captured image obtained through imaging of an imaging unit satisfies a preliminary composition condition which is based on the main composition condition,
• executing a process of obtaining a preliminary image as an image satisfying the preliminary composition condition in accordance with the determination result,
• generating the main image by processing the preliminary image obtained through the process based on the main composition condition;
• and
• executing a trimming process on the preliminary image so that a position of a subject satisfies the main composition condition, when the position of the subject is set as the main composition condition.

An imaging apparatus comprising:

• a lens that is installed on one surface of a casing;
• an imaging element that receives light via the lens and converts the light into an image signal;
• and
• a display unit that is installed on the other surface on the rear side of the one surface of the casing on which the lens is installed and displays an image in accordance with the image signal,
• wherein the imaging apparatus generates a main image satisfying a main composition condition indicating a condition regarding a predetermined composition from a captured image obtained by the imaging element, and
• wherein the imaging apparatus further comprises:
• a condition determining unit that determines whether the captured image satisfies a preliminary composition condition which is based on the main composition condition;
• a processing unit that executes a process of obtaining a preliminary image as an image satisfying the preliminary composition condition in accordance with the determination result of the condition determining unit;
• an image processing unit that generates the main image by processing the preliminary image obtained through the process of the processing unit based on the main composition condition;
• and
• wherein the image processing unit executes a trimming process on the preliminary image so that a position of a subject satisfies the main composition condition, when the position of the subject is set as the main composition condition.
