An image processing apparatus includes: an imaging characteristic acquisition unit that acquires, on the basis of information that designates a depth of field for second image data to be generated, imaging characteristics of a virtual optical system having the designated depth of field; a selection unit that determines, on the basis of the imaging characteristics acquired, an influence range in which an influence exerted onto an image by an object that is spaced apart from the focal position in the optical axis direction is greater than a predetermined condition, and that selects first image data of which focal position is contained within the influence range, from among a plurality of first image data items; and a generation unit that generates the second image data using the first image data selected by the selection unit. |
