Abstract:
1. An imaging device comprising: detecting means for detecting an amount of change in an imaging condition; determining means for determining whether the amount of change detected by the detecting means has become greater than or equal to a first threshold and then has converged to an amount less than or equal to a second threshold, the determining means comprising checking means for checking whether a difference between a piece of image data for which image data of one screen is last recorded on the predetermined recording medium and a piece of image data newly taken is less than or equal to a predetermined value; and controlling means for exercising control so that image data captured via an imaging element is recorded on a predetermined recording medium when it is determined by the determining means that the amount of change has become greater than or equal to the first threshold and then has converged to an amount less than or equal to the second threshold, wherein the controlling means exercises control so that the difference is recorded on the predetermined recording medium as the newly taken image data when it is determined by the checking means that the difference is less than or equal to the predetermined value.
