STROBE DEVICE AND IMAGING DEVICE EQUIPPED WITH STROBE DEVICE

摘要

Provided is a strobe device (2) that calculates the irradiation angle of a light-emitting unit (10) when performing bounce flash photography on the basis of the measured distance value to a reflector, the measured distance value to a subject, the measured irradiation angle of the light-emitting unit (10), and preset light distribution characteristics of the light-emitting unit (10). The light irradiation amount with respect to the subject is subsequently calculated on the basis of the calculated irradiation angle, the advancement length of a catch sheet (11) and a light-shielding plate (12) are calculated in accordance with the calculated irradiation angle of the light-emitting unit (10) and the calculated light irradiation amount, and the advancement length of the catch sheet (11) and the light-shielding plate (12) are adjusted. As a result, it is possible to obtain a strobe device (2) and an imaging device that make it possible to perform suitable bounce flash photography.
