<p>It is arranged so that image data that has been subjected to super-resolution processing is generated reliably only in a case where super-resolution processing is necessary. If zoom magnification falls within an optical-zoom application scaling range of zoom magnifications Z 1 to Z 2 , image data that has been enlarged by a zoom lens is recorded on a recording medium. If zoom magnification falls within an electronic-zoom application scaling range of zoom magnifications Z 2 to Z 3 , the image data is subjected to super-resolution processing, super-resolution image data and image data that has not been subjected to super-resolution processing are combined by weighting processing executed such that the higher the zoom magnification, the greater the weight assigned to the super-resolution image data, and the resultant image data is subjected to electronic zoom processing and then recorded. If zoom magnification exceeds Z 3 , the super-resolution image data is recorded upon being subjected to electronic zoom processing.</p> |
