PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To acquire a detailed reference level within an effective pixel region without increasing new components in an imaging apparatus comprising a microlens array in which one microlens is configured for the unit of multiple pixels.SOLUTION: An imaging apparatus comprises an imaging lens (201), a sensor array (203) and a plurality of microlenses (202). The sensor array (203) is comprised of a plurality of pixels disposed in a two-dimensional manner each performing photoelectric conversion on incident light and outputting an electric signal. The plurality of microlenses (202) are formed between the imaging lens and the sensor array and correspond to a plurality of regions of the sensor array comprised of a predetermined number of pixels, respectively. Among pixels included in the plurality of regions, pixels of which the quantity of received light is reduced relatively in each region by characteristics of an optical system including the imaging lens and the microlenses and characteristics of the photoelectric conversion sections, are configured as pixels (a00, a07, a70, a77) for calculating a reference value of the electric signal outputted from the photoelectric conversion section. |
