PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an imaging apparatus in which relative positional shift of recording of a pair of test patterns being formed in order to adjust the ink ejection timing can be calculated in a short time. SOLUTION: The image recorder 100 comprises a carriage 110 and a sheet holding mechanism 140. The carriage 110 comprises a section 120 for recording an image on a sheet 192, and a CCD unit 130 for reading an image recorded on the sheet 192. The image recorder 100 further comprises a mechanism 172 for driving the carriage 110, a section 174 for controlling the recording section 120 to record a pair of test patterns on the sheet 192, and a section 176 for calculating the relative positional shift of recording the pair of test patterns based on cross correlation of the density data thereof. The image shift calculating section calculates positional shift of recording using the cross correlation function of the sum density data of the pair of test patterns, for example.
