<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an image more suitable for a photographic subject, in an imaging device. Ž<P>SOLUTION: There is provided an imaging device equipped with an imaging elements comprising a large number of first and second light-sensitive elements which can be controlled to be driven independently from each other and disposed in a predetermined arrangement. In the imaging device, image signals are obtained on the basis of outputs from the first and/or second light-sensitive elements to recognize a scene of a photographic subject based on the image signals obtained and obtain field information. A driving mode is selected based on the obtained scene of the photographic subject and field information. The imaging elements are driven in the driving mode selected to obtain the image signals, thereby producing image data from the image signal. Ž<P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT Ž
