ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an imaging apparatus that makes effective use of an image restoration processing method, thereby working favorably for size reductions while making sure zoom ratios and brightness, and ensuring good images. The imaging apparatus includes a zoom lens1comprising a plurality of lens groups G1to G4and adapted to implement zooming from a wide-angle end to a telephoto end with a change in a space between the plurality of lens groups, an imaging device2adapted to take an image formed through the zoom lens1, and an image restoration processor11adapted to implement signal processing by which image restoration is implemented on the basis of a signal for the image taken by the imaging device2to generate an image signal for a restored image. The signal processing for implementing image restoration at the image restoration processor15involves processing for electrically implementing image restoration using a restoration filter on the basis of a point spread function regarding the imaging capability of the zoom lens1. The zoom lens and the imaging device have a relation that satisfies condition (1) for balancing the power of restoration at the image restoration processor11against the total length of the zoom lens1.
