IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM

摘要

To be able to simply record RAW image data, and quickly output images according to the recorded RAW image data. First, the apparatus can shift operation modes to a still image photographing mode, a still image playing mode, a moving image photographing mode, or a moving image playing mode. Photographed images are subjected to rough development and recorded in a recording medium, and RAW files are generated and recorded. Then, the apparatus shifts to an idle state when processing loads are small in each mode and performs high image quality development processing using the recorded RAW files if high image quality development has not been performed to replace the image files subjected to rough development.
