US 2024/0179418 A1 · APPARATUS HAVING EXPOSURE CONTROL, IMAGING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Abstract

An apparatus includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire an image, a detection unit configured to detect an object from the image, a photometry unit configured to perform photometry on the image in accordance with a set photometry mode, wherein the photometry mode includes a first photometry mode in which an exposure is determined by weighting a region having a relatively high luminance value in comparison with a region having a relatively low luminance value at least in a photometry region, and wherein, in a case where the detection unit detects the object in the image in a state where the first photometry mode is selected, the photometry unit performs photometry in the first photometry mode by using a region of the object as the photometry region.

Dependent claims

An apparatus comprising:

at least one processor;
at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to function as:
an acquisition unit configured to acquire an image;
a detection unit configured to detect an object from the image;
a calculation unit configured to calculate luminance values of the image;
and
a photometry unit configured to perform photometry on the image in accordance with a set photometry mode,
wherein the photometry mode includes a first photometry mode in which an exposure is determined by weighting a region having a relatively high luminance value in comparison with a region having a relatively low luminance value at least in a photometry region, and
wherein, in a case where the detection unit detects the object in the image in a state where the first photometry mode is selected, the photometry unit performs photometry in the first photometry mode by using a region of the object as the photometry region.
