Disclosed herein are an imaging apparatus, an imaging method, a recording medium, and a program which are capable of processing imaging data in a manner similar to that of a normal frame rate. Image data captured by a solid-state imaging element capable of performing imaging at a high resolution and a high frame rate is supplied to a memory control. The memory control, at the same time as writing the imaging data input from the imaging element in a frame memory, reads preceding frames of imaging data that are recorded on the frame memory, and sequentially respectively outputs them in parallel, as video image data items, for each frame, to respective camera signal processing units. In the camera signal processing units, a video output, a viewfinder output, codec units, and recording units, processing similar to that when a frame rate that is ¼ the imaging frame rate is executed.
