Abstract:
1. An imaging device comprising: a light emission control section configured to (i) obtain a delay time from issuance of a light emission trigger indicating light emission start timing of a flash to reaching of a predetermined value by light emission luminance of the flash and (ii) to adjust timing of the light emission trigger on a basis of the delay time; an imaging control section configured to control exposure start timing on the basis of the delay time; and a correction amount calculating section configured to calculate an amount of correction used when brightness of a taken image taken from the exposure start timing is corrected, the predetermined value being a peak value of the light emission luminance such that the delay time is an amount of time from the issuance of the light emission trigger to reaching the peak value of the light emission luminance, and the light emission control section configured to adjust the start timing of the light emission trigger by the delay time and the imaging control section configured to control the exposure start timing so as to occur after an amount of time corresponding to the delay time has passed since the start timing of the light emission trigger.
