Abstract

An imaging device 10 according to an aspect of the present invention includes: an image generation section 100 that generates a moving image; a filter acquisition section 105 that acquires a restoration filter corresponding to a transfer function for the point distribution of an optical system; an aperture value detection section 110 that detects an aperture value of the optical system; a restoration processing determination section 115 that determines whether or not the aperture value detected by the aperture value detection section 110 is equal to or greater than a small-aperture-blurring reference aperture value; and a restoration processing execution section 120 that executes the restoration processing on the moving image through the restoration filter, in case where the restoration processing determination section 115 determines that the aperture value detected by the aperture value detection section 110 is equal to or greater than the small-aperture-blurring reference aperture value.
