Abstract
The present invention provides an image processing apparatus including a shooting scene setting unit, a component image acquiring unit, and a time-lapse moving image generating unit. The shooting scene setting unit sets a shooting interval according to shooting situations or shooting setting and selects one of different methods for generating a time-lapse moving image from a plurality of images obtained at the set shooting interval according to shooting situations or shooting setting. The component image acquiring unit obtains a plurality of component images forming a time-lapse moving image based on the time-lapse moving image generating method set by the shooting scene setting unit. The time-lapse moving image generating unit generates a time-lapse moving image by using the plurality of component images obtained by the component image acquiring unit based on the set time-lapse moving image generating method.
