Abstract
An imaging device equipped with an imaging system includes an imaging lens optical system which images an object, a flash emitting unit which synchronizes imaging in the imaging system to emit a flash having not less than a prescribed luminance in a charged state not less than a prescribed charged state by power to be charged, and a control unit which determines a charging amount of the charged state of the flash emitting unit and which controls imaging to be performed by using the flash emitting unit with an imaging sensitivity of the imaging lens optical system set in accordance with the charging amount of the charged state in imaging by the imaging lens optical system.
Claims4
An imaging device comprising:
- imaging means for imaging an object;
- an auxiliary light source which synchronizes with imaging by the imaging device to emit a flash having not less than a prescribed luminance in a charged state not less than a prescribed charged state by power to be charged;
- determining means for determining a charging amount of the charged state of the auxiliary light source;
- and
- imaging control means for performing imaging by the imaging means using the auxiliary light source by changing a shutter speed in addition to setting an imaging sensitivity of the imaging means in accordance with the charging amount of the charged state of the auxiliary light source.
An imaging method for an imaging device equipped with an imaging unit which images an object, and an auxiliary light source which synchronizes with imaging by the imaging unit to emit a flash having not less than a prescribed luminance in a charged state not less than a prescribed charged state by power to be charged, the imaging method comprising:
- determining a charging amount of the charged state of the auxiliary light source;
- and
- changing a shutter speed in addition to setting an imaging sensitivity of the imaging unit in accordance with the charging amount of the charged state of the auxiliary light source to perform imaging by the imaging unit using the auxiliary light source.
