Original Abstract Submitted
An image processing apparatus is configured to process a plurality of images acquired by sequentially capturing an object image. The image processing apparatus detects a positional shift amount between the plurality of images, generate a combined image by combining the plurality of images that have been aligned based on the positional shift amount, and acquire an optical center position of the combined image based on the positional shift amount. The optical center position is a reference position in performing optical correction processing for the combined image. A correcting amount in the optical correction processing changes according to a distance from the reference position.
