Patent attributes
An imaging apparatus comprising an imaging unit that images a subject and produces an image signal, a signal-processing unit that performs dynamic range compression processing on the image signal, and a first output unit that produces a first output signal based on the image signal processed in the signal-processing unit. The imaging apparatus also has a signal-producing unit that produces a signal including the image signal and any processing information that indicates which dynamic range compression processing is performed in the signal-processing unit, and a second output unit that produces a second output signal based on the signal produced in the signal-producing unit.
