ABSTRACT:
In an image pickup apparatus of the present invention, a CCD11in which a plurality of pixels are arranged in a two-dimensional array, thereof the number of effective horizontal pixels is H and the number of effective vertical pixels is V; a aspect switching operator18that sets one of a plurality of aspect modes including a first aspect mode and a second aspect mode; an image processor141that generates first image data for recording in the first aspect mode, and generates second image data for recording in the second aspect mode, wherein the first image data for recording is generated using image data that is generated with pixels being H1horizontal pixels by V1vertical pixels included in the pixels on the CCD11or image data that is obtained by subjecting said image data to predetermined processing, the second image data for recording is generated using image data that is generated with pixels being H2horizontal pixels by V2vertical pixels included in the pixels on the solid-state imaging device or image data that is obtained by subjecting said image data to predetermined processing, and the first image data for recording and the second image data for recording satisfy the following relationships: H2<H1≦H, and V1<V2≦V. Thus, it is possible to make the sizes or qualities of sets of image data for recording close to each other even if they have different aspect modes.
