Abstract
An imaging apparatus including a capturing section which captures an image at a first viewing angle, a capturing control section which performs a plurality of image capturing operations by the capturing section, a generation section which generates a composite image reproducing an image captured at a second viewing angle that is wider than the first viewing angle by combining a plurality of images acquired by the plurality of image capturing operations by the capturing control section, a judgment section which judges whether or not an uncaptured area that has not been captured by the capturing control section exists within the composite image with the second viewing angle generated by the generation section, and a notification section which notifies a user of a judgment result, when the judgment section judges that an uncaptured area exists.
