IMAGING DEVICE, IMAGING METHOD AND RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

An imaging device (100) is provided with: an imager (1) that includes an imaging element with multiple pixels arranged two-dimensionally, and that outputs an image signal in accordance with setting of either a pixel addition readout method or a cutout readout method; a signal processor (2) that processes the image signal from the imager (1); an operator (3) that inputs operation information; a lightness detector (4) that detects a subject lightness; and a controller (5). The controller (5) includes a zoom setter (51) that sets a zoom magnification for a subject based on a zoom signal that is input by the operator (3), and a readout-method switching controller (52) that switches between the pixel addition readout method and the cutout readout method according to the zoom magnification set by the zoom setter (51) and the lightness detected by the lightness detector (4).
