Abstract: The present technology relates to an imaging device, an imaging method, and a program capable of making a user feel that imaging is performed.An imaging device includes an imaging element, a mechanical shutter that exposes the imaging element by controlling a light shielding state of light entering the imaging element, an electronic shutter that exposes the imaging element by controlling a reading timing of the imaging element, an electronic shutter driving unit that makes the electronic shutter travel, and a mechanical shutter driving unit that makes the mechanical shutter travel after the exposure of the imaging element by the electronic shutter ends. A control unit that issues a drive instruction to the mechanical shutter driving unit is further included, and the control unit issues the drive instruction at the time when the exposure of the imaging element by the electronic shutter ends. The present technology is available for an imaging device.
