Abstract:
1. A camera comprising: an imaging element for taking a picture to obtain an image; a detecting unit which detects a timing of blinking of light based on a timing of variation in luminance of an image obtained by the imaging element, wherein the light blinks periodically at a reference timing and the image is taken by the imaging element under a condition that the light blinks periodically at the reference timing; and an adjusting unit which adjusts a timing of exposure of the imaging element, based on the timing of blinking of light detected by the detecting unit, wherein the detecting unit detects the timing of blinking of light which blinks at the reference timing, based on a timing of variation in luminance of line images corresponding to particular lines respectively included in plural frames serially taken by the imaging element, each of the plural frames including at least one of said particular lines.
