Imaging apparatus, control method of imaging apparatus, and non-transitory storage medium storing control method of imaging apparatus

A control method of an imaging apparatus, the imaging apparatus comprising a photographic lens, an imager which receives light fluxes passing through the photographic lens to generate an imaging signal, a diaphragm which regulates the light fluxes passing through the photographic lens and received by the imager, and a display unit which displays on the basis of the imaging signal, the control method comprising:

• performing still image continuous photography by the imager, and displaying a live-view image on the display unit during each main exposure of the still image continuous photography;
• and
• controlling, in accordance with a movement speed of the diaphragm, a start timing of the movement of the diaphragm for the main exposure while the live-view image is displayed during each main exposure of the still image continuous photography,
• wherein controlling the start timing of the movement of the diaphragm comprises delaying the start timing of the movement of the diaphragm when the movement speed of the diaphragm is higher than a predetermined value which is the movement speed of the diaphragm corresponding to a time necessary for an exposure operation for the live-view image of one frame, and
• wherein the time which delays the start timing of the movement of the diaphragm is longer than the time necessary for the exposure operation for the live-view image of one frame.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a processor executable code, which when executed by at least one processor, performs a control method of an imaging apparatus comprising a photographic lens, an imager which receives light fluxes passing through the photographic lens to generate an imaging signal, a diaphragm which regulates the light fluxes passing through the photographic lens and received by the imager, and a display unit which displays on the basis of the imaging signal, the control method comprising:

• performing still image continuous photography by the imager, and displaying a live-view image on the display unit during each main exposure of the still image continuous photography;
• and
• controlling, in accordance with a movement speed of the diaphragm, a start timing of the movement of the diaphragm for the main exposure while the live-view image is displayed during each main exposure of the still image continuous photography,
• wherein controlling the start timing of the movement of the diaphragm comprises delaying the start timing of the movement of the diaphragm when the movement speed of the diaphragm is higher than a predetermined value which is the movement speed of the diaphragm corresponding to a time necessary for an exposure operation for the live-view image of one frame, and
• wherein the time which delays the start timing of the movement of the diaphragm is longer than the time necessary for the exposure operation for the live-view image of one frame.
