    摘要: An imaging apparatus includes a photographic lens, an imager, a diaphragm, a drive unit, and a control unit. The imager receives light fluxes passing through the photographic lens to generate an imaging signal. The diaphragm regulates the light fluxes passing through the photographic lens and received by the imager. The drive unit drives the diaphragm. The control unit performs still image continuous photography and displays a live-view image on a display unit during each main exposure of the still image continuous photography. The control unit controls a start timing of the driving of the diaphragm for the main exposure performed by the drive unit while the live-view image is displayed during each main exposure of the still image continuous photography, in accordance with a drive speed of the diaphragm.
