An imaging apparatus is provided and includes: an imaging section that repeatedly takes an image of a subject to obtain a plurality of subject images； a contrast calculating section that calculates a contrast of the image with respect to each of the plurality of subject images； a time trigger generating section that receives an operation during repeatedly taking the image at the imaging section and issues a time trigger representing a time at which the operation is received； and a display section that displays a subject image when the time trigger is issued from the time trigger generating section, in which the contrast of the subject image calculated by the contrast calculating section is the highest among a part of the subject images having image-taking times in a time region including the time represented by the time trigger.
