Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A digital camera 1 includes an image capturing unit 16 , an image composition unit 52 , and a display control unit 54 . The image capturing unit 16 captures frames at predetermined time intervals. The image composition unit 52 sequentially combines at least a part of image data from image data of a plurality of frames sequentially captured by the image capturing unit 16 at predetermined time intervals. The display control unit 54 performs control to sequentially display image data combined by the image composition unit 52 while the image data of the frames are captured by the image capturing unit 16 at predetermined time intervals.
