An imager is provided having an imaging sensor, a still image composer, and a movie creator. The imaging sensor takes still images with exposures that differ from each other. The still image composer composes still images so as to create a composite still image. The movie creator integrates the composite still images so as to create a movie. The composer creates a false composite still image and the movie creator integrates the false composite still image in order to create a movie upon the still image composer being unable to create the composite still image.
