    摘要: Flicker, which occurs in photographing of a moving image under lighting by a fluorescent lamp, is detected accurately. A common multiple of a light-emitting period {fraction (1/100)} sec in a region where a frequency of a commercial AC power supply is 50 Hz, a light-emitting period {fraction (1/120)} sec in a region where the frequency is 60 Hz, and 1/fp according to a frame rate fp is defined as a synchronous period. An exposure condition determining unit decides an exposure condition on the basis of an image signal level at each synchronous period and feeds back the exposure condition to exposure control of a frame after the synchronous period. A synchronous level extracting unit extracts image signal levels for plural frames at each synchronous period and a synchronous judging unit judges a stability state of the levels. On the other hand, a flicker judging unit detects presence of a section where a fluctuation in an image signal level between adjacent frames is large in the synchronous period. When the synchronous level judging unit confirms that an exposure stable state is realized, the flicker judging unit makes a result of judgment on flicker based on the fluctuation of a signal level in the synchronous period effective.
