A development processing unit outputs video data obtained by performing development processing including demosaicing processing on the pixel data stored in the transitory storage unit. An output control unit switches between a first recording mode in which only the video data out of the video data and the pixel data is used as recording data and a second recording mode in which the video data and the pixel data are used as the recording data. In addition, the output control unit controls the imaging unit to perform imaging with different exposure values between the first recording mode and the second recording mode.

  • Patent number: 11534693
    Abstract: An example of an information processing system gives an in-game virtual reward associated with a first designated game stage to a user on condition that a result of a first game played by the user satisfies the reward giving condition. The information processing system gives the in-game virtual reward associated with a second designated game stage to the user on condition that a result of a second game played by the user satisfies the reward giving condition. Regardless of whether an in-game virtual reward is given based on the result of the first game played by the user or the result of the second game played by the user, the information processing system changes an in-game element in the first game mode from a state where it is not permitted to be played by the user to a state where it is permitted to be played by the user.
