1. An image taking apparatus comprising:

  • (a) an image pickup device which captures at least three images sequentially;

    (b) a detection unit which detects shift amounts between a first image among the at least three images and each of the other images;

    (c) a coordinate conversion unit which performs coordinate conversion so that the other images overlap the first image based on a detection result in the detecting unit;

    (d) a synthesis unit which synthesizes the first image and the other images as one synthesis image by performing the coordinate conversion in the coordinate conversion unit; and

    (e) an adjusting unit which darkens brightness in a first region of each of the other images, the first region corresponding to a region irradiated with light in the first image,wherein the first image among the at least three images is captured by using an illumination unit, and the other images are captured without using the illumination unit and are at least two captured images.
