Abstract
The image inspection apparatus includes an image score calculator and an imaging condition specifier. The image score calculator calculates scores of images, which are produced under different imaging conditions. The imaging condition specifier receives, when two or more thumbnails corresponding to two or more of the images that have a higher score are displayed on the display, selection of one from the two or more thumbnails to specify a set of imaging conditions corresponding to the thumbnail selected. The different imaging conditions include a single-shot set of conditions under which a single-shot image is produced, and a composition series of sets of conditions under which images are captured to produce a composite image from the images. The display shows a reference information display area that indicates reference information representing the single-shot set or composition series of sets in response to the displaying of the two or more thumbnails.
