Patent Images
1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a sensor unit including a plurality of sensor arrays that output first imaging data formed by an optical system; and
circuitry configured togenerate second imaging data by converting the first imaging data output by the sensor unit into an order corresponding to a predetermined arrangement;
perform first signal processing on the second imaging data to generate a viewfinder image having a first resolution;
perform second signal processing on the first imaging data to generate a captured image having a second resolution that is greater than the first resolution; and
suspend generating the second imaging data upon receiving an input to generate the captured image.
