To confirm an effect of an exposure correction value set by a user before photographing, and also to achieve photographing by accurately reflecting exposure correction according to subject brightness and exposure correction according to the exposure correction value set by the user.

When display means successively displays images based on image data acquired by imaging means, if an operation for executing an instruction to start a photographing preparation operation is not performed, exposure control is performed not by reflecting a first correction amount calculated based on subject brightness but by reflecting a second correction amount set by a user via first operation means, and if the operation for executing the instruction to start the photographing preparation operation is performed, exposure control is performed by reflecting the first correction amount and the second correction amount.
