PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To materialize appropriate correction to light fallout depending on an imaging condition. SOLUTION: An imaging device comprises: a means for generating an image signal from an image formed on an imaging element by means of an optical unit; a means for correcting the phenomenon of light fallout caused by the optical unit for each of any pixels on the imaging element; a means for regulating a correction gain for correcting the light fallout, on the basis of characteristics associated with the coordinate position of the pixel on the imaging element; and a means for controlling the regulating operation of the means for regulating the gain, in accordance with the generating condition of the imaging signal by the signal generation means. Consequently, the light correction in the light fallout region can be performed without any degradation in quality of images. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
