Abstract:
1. An imaging apparatus comprising: an imaging unit; a receiving unit that receives an operation of selection of a region in an image imaged by the imaging unit; a presenting unit that presents at least one imaging condition when imaging an image by the imaging unit based on an image of the region selected by the operation of selection; a setting unit that sets an imaging condition selected based on an operation of selection as a current imaging condition from among the at least one imaging condition presented by the presenting unit; a controlling unit that controls an imaging operation of the imaging unit in accordance with the imaging condition set by the setting unit; an identifying unit that identifies object regions of at least one type contained in the image, based on data of the image imaged by the imaging unit; a determining unit that determines an object region including the region selected by the operation of selection as a selected region from among the object regions of the at least one type identified by the identifying unit; and a judging unit that judges an imaging condition including an imaging environment of the imaging unit when imaging the image, based on the object regions of the at least one type identified by the identifying unit; wherein the presenting unit presents the at least one imaging condition based on the selected region determined by the determination unit and the imaging condition judged by the judging unit.
