Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes: an image sensor including a plurality of charge storage-type photoelectric conversion elements disposed along a first and a second direction; a rolling shutter control unit that executes storage control to store electrical charges in a first element row and in a second element row with different timing for electrical charging, the first element row including a plurality of the charge storage-type photoelectric conversion elements along the first direction and the second element row including a plurality of the charge storage-type photoelectric conversion elements along the first direction at a different position along the second direction; a detection unit that detects light emission timing indicating a light emission cycle of each of a plurality of color components in light entering the image sensor; and a start instruction unit that engages the rolling shutter control unit to start the storage control based upon the light emission timing.
