Patent ID: 7925150

Claim:
A camera system, comprising: a light emitting unit that performs a main emission of light in which during photography a photographic subject is illuminated with a first light having a first color temperature, and a preparatory emission of light in which the photographic subject is illuminated with a second light having a second color temperature that is different from the first color temperature before photography; an imaging element that captures an image of the photographic subject and outputs an image capture signal; a calculator that calculates an amount of the first light to be emitted by the light emitting unit during the main emission of light, on the basis of the image capture signal output from the imaging element during the preparatory emission of light; a corrector that corrects the amount of the first light to be emitted that has been calculated by the calculator, on the basis of a color temperature difference between the first color temperature and the second color temperature; and a controller that controls the light emitting unit to perform the main emission of light at the amount of the first light to be emitted after correction by the corrector.
