IMAGING APPARATUS AND METHOD, AND PROGRAM

摘要

The present technology relates to an imaging apparatus and method, and a program to allow easier and quicker adjustment of an angle of view.;The imaging apparatus photographs and displays a live view image, while a user adjusts the angle of view by seeing the live view image to cause the imaging apparatus to photograph an image to be photographed. At this time, an internal information detecting unit detects information about the photographed image as internal detected information, and an external information detecting unit detects conditions or the like of the imaging apparatus as external detected information. A photographing settings changing unit determines whether astronomical photographing is to be performed according to at least the internal detected information or the external detected information, and sets an upper limit value of the shutter speed during photographing the live view image to be larger in the astronomical photographing than the value of the normal photographing. The present technology can be applied to digital still cameras.
