5. The endoscopic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, in the second processing, the control unit simultaneously displays all of the plurality of images based on the one subject image used for the measurement on the display unit as the still images.
6. The endoscopic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, in the second processing, the control unit simultaneously displays all of the plurality of subject images used for the measurement on the display unit as the still images after respectively displaying all of the plurality of subject images used for the measurement on the display unit in time series as the still images.
7. The endoscopic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, in the second processing, the control unit simultaneously displays all of the plurality of images based on the one subject image used for the measurement on the display unit as the still images after respectively displaying all of the plurality of images based on the one subject image used for the measurement on the display unit in time series as the still images.
8. The endoscopic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, in the second processing, the control unit respectively displays all of the plurality of subject images used for the measurement on the display unit in time series as the still images after simultaneously displaying all of the plurality of subject images used for the measurement on the display unit as the still images.
9. The endoscopic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, in the second processing, the control unit respectively displays all of the plurality of images based on the one subject image used for the measurement on the display unit in time series as the still images after simultaneously displaying all of the plurality of images based on the one subject image used for the measurement on the display unit as the still images.
10. The endoscopic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, in the second processing, the control unit displays images, which are obtained by performing image processing on all of the plurality of subject images used for the measurement, on the display unit as the still images.
11. The endoscopic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, in the second processing, the control unit displays images, which are obtained by performing image processing on all of the plurality of images based on the one subject image used for the measurement, on the display unit as the still images.
12. The endoscopic apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the control unit controls whether or not to perform the image processing.
13. The endoscopic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit is further configured to perform processing for ending the measurement based on an operation by the user.
14. The endoscopic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the still images that are displayed when transferring to the second processing again based on the first instruction of the user are newly photographed images.
15. A measuring method comprising:
a first step of displaying a moving image including one subject image photographed by an endoscopic apparatus on a display unit;
a second step of, after the first step, displaying (i) all of a plurality of subject images used for measurement, or (ii) all of a plurality of images based on one subject image used for measurement, on the display unit as still images, all of the plurality of subject images used for the measurement and all of the plurality of images based on the one subject image used for the measurement being acquired in time series;
a third step of, after the second step, transferring to the second step again based on a first instruction of a user; and
a fourth step of, after the third step, designating a measurement point based on a second instruction of the user, and measuring a size of a subject at the designated measurement point based on (i) an image based on all of the plurality of subject images, or (ii) all of the plurality of images based on the one subject image used for measurement.
