Abstract:
1. An imaging apparatus, comprising: an imaging section that captures an image of a subject; a detection section that detects flicker of a through-the-lens image as a moving image of the subject which is obtained by image capturing of the imaging section; a control section that, when the detection section detects the flicker, controls an aperture, a shutter speed, and a gain on the basis of through-the-lens image control values as control values for controlling the aperture, the shutter speed, and the gain so as to preferentially suppress occurrence of flicker in the through-the-lens image; and a determination section that determines whether or not to make a user check an effect of the aperture, wherein when the determination section determines to make the user check the effect of the aperture, the control section controls the aperture, the shutter speed, and the gain on the basis of the through-the-lens image control values, regardless of a detection result of the flicker obtained by the detection section.
