Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes an imager, an operator, and a controller. The operator sets an exposure correction value and a continuous shooting mode including a first continuous shooting mode and a second continuous shooting mode in which continuous shooting is performed at a higher speed than in the first continuous shooting mode. The controller is configured to determine whether the exposure correction value is within a predetermined range when the second continuous shooting mode is set in the operator. The controller is configured to perform the auto exposure control during continuous shooting operation in the second continuous shooting mode when determined that the exposure correction value is within the predetermined range. The controller is configured not to perform the auto exposure control during the continuous shooting operation in the second continuous shooting mode when determined that the exposure correction value is not within the predetermined range.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus comprises: an imager that captures an image of a subject to generate image data; a first detector that detects a face region corresponding to a face of the subject in the image data; a second detector that detects a subject region corresponding to at least a part of the subject in the image data; and a controller that controls exposure based on metering for the image data, wherein the controller performs, when the face region is detected by the first detector, exposure compensation according to metering in the detected face region, and continues the exposure compensation according to the metering in the detected face region, when the detected face region is lost by the first detector and the subject region corresponding to the subject of the detected face region is detected by the second detector.
