Abstract:
1. An imaging device comprising: an imaging section to obtain an imaging result; a display section to display a monitor image of the imaging result; a luminance distribution detection section to detect the luminance distribution of the imaging result; a luminance level determination section to determine the luminance levels of the imaging result; and a control section to display, in the display section, a histogram showing the luminance distribution of the imaging result based on the detection result of the luminance level detection section, and display a marker at a specific luminance level specified in advance by a user before display of the histogram, the control section also to convert, based on the determination result of the luminance level determination section, a region of the imaging result having the specific luminance level into a specific pattern in response to the displaying of the marker at the specific luminance level specified in advance by the user and to display the monitor image in the display section, wherein the control section displays the marker so that the specific luminance level can be specified on the histogram.
