The invention is an image pickup apparatus comprising an LE-SE buffer for storing multiple images with different exposure amounts that have been taken with a CCD, an SL synthesizing circuit for performing Super Latitude (SL) processing for the multiple images to generate a synthesized image with a wide dynamic range, a suitability evaluating circuit for evaluating whether the photography scene is suitable for performing SL processing with the SL synthesizing circuit, an image quality evaluating circuit for comparing the synthesized image with the images before synthesizing and evaluating image quality, and a recording format selecting circuit for which of the multiple images before synthesizing and the synthesized image to be recorded by a recording circuit, based on the image quality evaluation results and operating input from a key input circuit.
