PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an intended full-focus image and a blur-emphasized image even for a scene including a hand shake or subject blur. SOLUTION: A plurality of images differing in focus position are photographed through focus bracket photography (steps S21 to S23), and a feature point of a reference image are extracted to detect to which position in an image other than the reference image the feature point has moved (step S24). Respective images other than the reference image are deformed so that the position of the feature point matches (step S26). For composition, sharpnesses of pixels in corresponding coordinates of the respective images are calculated and a pixel value corresponding to the highest sharpness is output.
