Abstract:
1. An imaging device comprising: an imaging component configured to capture a subject image and output image data; an imaging mode input component configured to select an automatic determination mode in which one of a plurality of imaging modes is automatically decided on, and a selection mode in which one of a plurality of imaging modes is selectively decided on; an imaging mode selector configured to select a first combination imaging mode or a first non-combination imaging mode based on whether or not the imaging mode decided in the automatic determination mode is a specific imaging mode, or select a second combination imaging mode or a second non-combination imaging mode based on whether or not the imaging mode decided in the selection mode is the specific imaging mode, each of the first combination imaging mode and second combination imaging mode being a mode in which plural sets of image data are captured and combined, each of the first non-combination imaging mode and second non-combination imaging mode being a mode in which plural sets of image data are not combined; and a number decision component configured to set a number of sets of image data to be combined to a specific first number of combinations if the first combination imaging mode is selected, and set the number of sets of image data to be combined to a specific second number of combinations if the second combination imaging mode is selected, the first number of combinations is set to be different from the second number of combinations.
