Title:
IMAGING APPARATUS AND IMAGING CONTROL PROGRAM
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2016197826
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform good dimming control of various scenes in flash imaging.SOLUTION: An imaging apparatus 100 has imaging means 22 having a plurality of pixels provided with a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements for one microlens, and performs signal reading from the pixel by first signal reading for reading signal from the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements while synthesizing, and second signal reading for reading the output from the second photoelectric conversion element after reading the output from the first photoelectric conversion element, out of the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements. Photometry is performed using the signals read from the pixel region which received the light from the subject, the light emitting means for emitting the light illuminating the subject is made to emit first light, and then made to emit second light with a luminescence calculated based on the results of photometry during first light emission. A switching means 50 switches the signal reading for dimming from a pixel region for obtaining the results of photometry during first light emission to first signal reading and second signal reading.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
