Abstract
A viewing device for a vehicle has: a rear lateral camera that captures images of a vehicle rear lateral side; a monitor that displays captured images of the rear lateral camera; and a control device that, in a case in which a monitor checking situation in which a vehicle periphery is dark is detected from vehicle information acquired from a vehicle ECU, controls the rear lateral camera so as to adjust exposure at a time of image capturing by the rear lateral camera such that captured images that are displayed on the monitor become brighter.
Claims10
A viewing device for a vehicle, comprising:
- an imaging portion that captures images of a vehicle periphery;
- a display portion that displays captured images that are captured by the imaging portion;
- and
- an adjusting section that, in a case in which predetermined first vehicle information, which expresses a predetermined situation in which a vehicle occupant must check the display portion, is detected, and predetermined second vehicle information that expresses that the vehicle periphery is dark is detected, or in a case in which a predetermined operation is detected by a detecting portion that detects the predetermined operation, adjusts at least one of exposure at a time of image capturing by the imaging portion or display luminance of the display portion, such that the captured images that are displayed on the display portion become brighter,
- wherein the first vehicle information is results of detection of a sightline detecting portion that detects that a vehicle occupant is gazing on the display portion for a predetermined time period or more.
