Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2015167308
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a photometry method in which, even when face detection accuracy is not obtained due to the large luminance difference between a face detection part and the entire screen, subject detection accuracy is improved while guaranteeing application to an imaging image in a photometry mode set by a user.SOLUTION: An imaging apparatus includes subject detection means for detecting a main subject area and also includes a first exposure control mode for subject detection, and a second exposure control mode for being applied to a picked-up image based on user's setting. Based on autofocus setting and an operation state of a photographing button, the exposure control mode is selectively switched.
