Abstract
An imaging apparatus includes: a first imaging unit that captures an image of a subject and generates first video data; a first communication unit that communicates with a plurality of electronic devices, and receives second video data generated by the plurality of electronic devices and evaluation information indicating priorities of the second video data; an image processor that performs synthesis processing of synthesizing a first video and a second video, the first video being indicated by the first video data, and the second video being indicated by the second video data received from at least one electronic device of the plurality of electronic devices; and a first controller that controls the synthesis processing in the image processor. The first controller selects the at least one electronic device of the plurality of electronic devices based on the evaluation information received from each of the plurality of electronic devices, the at least one electronic device providing the second video data to be used for the synthesis processing.
