Abstract:
A flash band determination device that is capable of always detecting a flash band with high accuracy. It is determined whether or not there is a flash band caused by an external flash of light, which is an area having a luminance level higher than a threshold level, in a plurality of images which are continuously obtained. The threshold level is changed with respect to an image picked up with an exposure condition which is different from an exposure condition used in picking up a preceding image.

Claim (Index 26):
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer-executable program for executing a method of controlling a flash band determination device that determines whether or not there is a flash band caused by an external flash of light in an image obtained through image pickup by an image pickup device, the flash band determination device having at least one processor and a memory,\n wherein the method comprises: determining whether or not there is an area having a flash band in a third image and a fourth image which are continuously obtained, determining, in a case where the third image and the fourth image are picked up with a third exposure condition, an area having a second brightness in the fourth image as a part of the flash band, whereas the method does not determine, in a case where the third image is picked up with the third exposure condition and the fourth image is picked up with a fourth exposure condition which is greater in exposure than the third exposure condition, an area having the second brightness in the fourth image as a part of the flash band.
