ABSTRACT:
An imaging apparatus able to design lenses without regard as to a zoom position or zoom amount and able to restore an image by high precision operation and a method of same, including an optical unit110including a plurality of optical systems110-1and110-2forming a first order image and having different magnifications, an imaging element120, and an image processing device150forming the first order image to a high definition final image, wherein, in the image processing device150, a kernel size used at the time of the convolution operation and the coefficients used in the operation of numerical values thereof are made variable in accordance with the magnification of the optical system, this is determined by input of an operation unit190etc., and the kernel size having suitability in accordance with the magnification of the optical system or the above coefficients are linked.
