  • Patent number: 9736363
    Abstract: During capturing, image data obtained by applying a simplified development process to RAW image data is recorded together with a RAW image. Afterward, image data obtained by applying a high quality development process to the RAW image data is generated, and this image data replaces the image data obtained by the simplified development. Information indicating a state of progress of the high quality development process is displayed in association with an image, thereby enabling selection of the processes in consideration of the state of progress. It is possible to achieve an imaging apparatus capable of recording a RAW image without the need of a circuit for performing a high-speed development process and in such a manner that the RAW image can be easily reproduced when necessary.
