IMAGING DEVICE, IMAGING METHOD, AND PHOTOGRAPHING PROGRAM

摘要

An imaging device comprises an imaging element (1), which is divided into a long-exposure group and a short-exposure group and being capable of reading charges stored with different exposure times during a predetermined frame period, and a timing pulse generator (2) for adjusting the read timing of the imaging element (1). A first read timing for reading the charge stored with a long-exposure time from the long-exposure group and a second read timing for reading the charge stored with a short-exposure time from the short-exposure group are independently adjusted. Thus, the imaging device capable of enlarging the dynamic range depending on a difference level of the brightness of a subject is provided.
