Classification: CPC A  G  H | IPC A  G  H

Claim 0:
1. An imaging apparatus comprising:
a processor;
an imaging device configured to output image data; and
a light source,
wherein the processor is configured to determine whether or not the imaging device has gone out of space of which at least part is surrounded by an object when the imaging device is performing imaging after the imaging device is inserted into the space,
the processor is configured to execute power-saving control when the processor determines that the imaging device has gone out of the space,
in the power-saving control, the processor is configured to make power consumption of a control target less than power consumption of the control target before the power-saving control is executed,
the control target is at least one of the imaging device and the light source,
the processor is configured to determine brightness on the basis of the image data,
the processor is configured to reduce an amount of irradiation light of the light source when the brightness increases in a state in which the brightness is greater than or equal to a predetermined amount,
the processor is configured to determine whether or not the brightness meets a first condition,
the first condition represents that the brightness is continuously smaller than a first threshold value in a first period, and
the processor is configured to determine that the imaging device has gone out of the space when the brightness meets the first condition.
