  • Publication number: 20180183988
    Abstract: An image processing device acquires a plurality of image data each having a different viewpoint acquired from one instance of photographing and performs image processing. The plurality of image data each having a different viewpoint is image data output from a plurality of photoelectric conversion units which respectively receive light passing through different pupil areas of an imaging optical system by an imaging device. An image processing unit performs high dynamic range (HDR) combining processing on a plurality of image data each having a different viewpoint which is input image data and generates output image data. When combined output image data is recorded as a file in a storage medium, a control unit performs processing to save it in the same file format as a file format of input image data.
