Abstract: An image processing apparatus (100) includes a synthesizer (101a) that synthesizes a first image (image A) with a second image (image B) having a parallax relative to the first image to generate a synthetic image, the first image and the second image being based on outputs of a single image sensor (7), and a filter (101b) that performs filtering processing on the synthetic image, the filtering processing being based on a point spread function of an image pickup optical system (1) that is used to generate the first image and the second image.

Abstract: An image pickup apparatus which is capable of easily generating a developed image file from image data obtained using the light field technique. A first recording mode in which data obtained from signals having different focuses is recorded as refocusable first data or a second recording mode in which data which is obtained by carrying out a development process on the data is recorded as non-refocusable second data is selected. During captured image review, at least one focus position in the image data is set as focus information. Based on the recording mode and the focus information, whether to generate a RAW image file or generate a developed image file is determined. When the RAW image file is to be generated and recorded in response to the determination, the focus information is added to the RAW image file.

Abstract: An image display device capable of saving time and effort required for viewing image data, to which image rotation information unintended by a user is added, in a desired orientation. An acceleration sensor detects an attitude of the image display device. A system controller controls the direction of display of an image based on the image rotation information and the detected attitude of the image display device. When the image display device is rotated from a state where the long side of the image displayed on a monitor and that of the monitor do not match each other, the system controller rotates the image such that the long sides of the image and the monitor match each other, and then, the system controller restricts rotation of the displayed image.
