PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an imaging apparatus capable of eliminating the necessity of the attaching/detaching operation of a polarizer or checking a subject image through the polarizer before photographing. SOLUTION: A PBS 3 mutually separates S polarized light and P polarized light included in subject light and forms respective images of the separated S polarized light L1 and P polarized light L2 on color imaging devices 4, 5, from which two subject image signals are outputted, respectively. An image signal processing circuit 6 composes these subject image signals at a required composite ratio and the composite image signal is supplied to a view finder 7 and recorded in a recording medium. Thereby a polarizer is made unnecessary, and when the optimum composition ratio of two subject image signals based on the separated S polarized light and P polarized light is set by the image signal processing circuit 6, the check of a specific image effect caused by the separation of two polarized light components before image pickup is made unnecessary. The specific effect of a specific effect image can be changed after photographing. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
