<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow continuous flash photographing when flash photographing is performed while increasing the imaging sensitivity of an imaging element to compensate for the lack of emission quantity in flash photographing. <P>SOLUTION: When preliminary emission before flash photographing and main emission for flash photographing are performed by a flash means, a first emission quantity and an imaging sensitivity are determined based on a subject luminance measured in the preliminary emission, and a second emission quantity smaller by a predetermined quantity Svconst than the maximum emission quantity of the flash means is set. When the first emission quantity is larger than the second emission quantity, the flash means is caused to perform main emission with the second emission quantity, and whether to change the imaging sensitivity of the imaging element is determined according to the difference between the first emission quantity and the second emission quantity. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
