Imaging device

An imaging device comprising:

• an imaging unit that generates image data from the optical information input through an optical system unit;
• an image processor that performs a predetermined process to the image data generated by the imaging unit;
• and
• a controller that controls at least one of the optical system unit, the imaging unit, and the image processor based on a set value relating to video capturing so as to generate video data,
• wherein the controller sets the set value to a corresponding value relating to the video capturing in each of a first video mode and a second video mode, and automatically sets the set value relating to the video capturing in the second video mode to a value more suitable for recording a still image than in the first video mode so that image quality of a still image taken during video capture in the second video mode is greater than image quality of a still image in the captured video in the first video mode, and
• the video in the second video mode is captured from start to end of a video recording, and includes one or more captured still images.
