To provide an imaging device and its control method, that can obtain proper images by adjusting parameters, such as AE, AWB and gradation properly, even if zoom magnification is changed by taking a photographing scene into account at consecutive shootings.
A digital camera 10 stores a parameter 220a, supplied from an evaluation value generating section in a signal processing section 2 to a memory 160 of a system control section. The system control section 16 receives a sensing signal 32a, denoting a stationary state from an acceleration sensor 32 in a zoom mode and supplies fixed parameters from the memory 160 to an aperture drive circuit 26, a CCD drive circuit 28 and a signal processing section 22 according to preset exposure, white balance and property of fixed gradation to allow the digital camera 10 to conduct main photographing.
