Image pickup apparatus
First Claim
1. An image pickup apparatus comprising:
- a picture-taking section to continuously take pictures of a subject to output a plurality of image frames;
an image synthesizing section to synthesize the plurality of image frames to produce a synthesized image;
an image brightness adjusting section which allows the image synthesizing section to synthesize the image frames and executes image brightness adjusting processing for adjusting brightness of the synthesized image in continuous shooting by the picture-taking section; and
a halfway-image display section to display an image which is being synthesized by the image synthesizing section in the image brightness adjusting processing.

Abstract
It is an object of the present invention to provide an image pickup apparatus which informs a user of a state of brightness adjusting operation and which has excellent usability for the user. Disclosed is a digital camera including an image adder 5d for synthesizing a plurality of continuously taken image frames to produce a synthesized image, an image processing apparatus 5 for executing image brightness adjusting processing for synthesizing a required synthesis number of image frames and adjusting brightness of the synthesized image at the time of continuous picture-taking of a subject, and a display device for displaying an image which is being synthesized by the image adder in the image brightness adjusting processing.
