Imaging apparatus for controlling imaging timing based on frame rate stored in advance

摘要

An imaging apparatus for performing imaging with a variable frame rate includes an imaging section for performing photoelectric conversion of an image of a subject, and outputting converted data as image data; a frame rate data input section into which frame rate data indicating a variation in the frame rate over time is input; a frame rate data storage section for storing the frame rate data input to the frame rate data input section; and a timing control section for controlling timing of imaging performed by the imaging section, based on the frame rate data stored in the frame rate data storage section. The apparatus may include a storage device for storing the image data output from the imaging section; and a control section for controlling, in image reproduction, output of the image data from the storage device by using the frame rate data used in the imaging.
