An imaging apparatus includes: an imaging element that generates image data by photoelectrically converting light received by pixels a filter array including a unit including different types of visible light filters with different transmission spectrum maximum values within a visible light band, and invisible light filters having a transmission spectrum maximum value in an invisible light range of wavelengths longer than those of the visible light band a partial area detection unit that detects a partial area of the subject on an image corresponding to the image data and a vital information generation unit that generates vital information on a subject based on image signals output by pixels, in an imaging area of the imaging element corresponding to the detected partial area, on which the invisible light filters are disposed.
