To provide a photographing device capable of clearly photographing even a three-dimensional subject, when photographing the subject at a short distance by a program AE function.

According to a digital camera 1 related to this invention, when judging that the camera is set to the normal mode and the subject is at a distance further than a predetermined value when the program AE is set, a CPU 11a refers to a program data 1 file 111 and performs exposure with an aperture value and shutter speed in accordance with an exposure value (EV) calculated by an AE.AF processing circuit 19. On the other hand, when judging that the camera is set to the close-up mode or the subject distance is a predetermined value or less, the CPU 11a changes over the file to refer to a program data 2 file 112, to limit an opening range of the aperture, and performs exposure with the aperture value and shutter speed calculated by the AE.AF processing circuit 19.
