An imaging apparatus including a capturing section which captures an image at a first viewing angle, a capturing control section which performs consecutive image capturing by the capturing section, a setting section which sets areas to be captured at the first viewing angle to generate a composite image reproducing a captured image at a second viewing angle by combining captured images, a judgment section which judges whether a captured image is suitable for any one of the set areas, and a recording control section which corresponds the captured image with an area and records the capture image in a recording section when the captured image is suitable, wherein the judgment section further judges whether the captured image is more suitable for an area than previously recorded by corresponding a recorded image in comparison with a previously recorded image, when an image that was previously recorded in the record means exists.
