Abstract:
1. An imaging control apparatus comprising: an input unit configured to input an image signal from an image capturing unit for a first region and an image signal from the image capturing unit for a second region included in the first region; an aperture control unit configured to control, based on a first image signal from the image capturing unit for the first region, a mechanical component which controls an aperture for image capturing by the image capturing unit, after the first image signal for the first region and a second image signal for the second region are captured by the image capturing unit, in order to capture a third image signal for the first region in a state where the aperture for image capturing is controlled based on the first image signal for the first region; and a luminance control unit configured to electronically control, based on the first image signal for the first region and the second image signal for the second region, a luminance of a fourth image signal captured by the image capturing unit for the second region in a state where the aperture for image capturing is controlled by the aperture control unit based on the first image signal.
