In an imaging device, a photographic scene is automatically determined with high accuracy. Distance information is acquired, through a TTL-AF, from an image signal produced by a CCD. Further, a face recognition circuit detects the face of a person in a subject. An AE-AF-AWB value computing section evaluates the reliability of the distance information acquired through the TTL-AF operation, on the basis of a focal length of a lens, an aperture, and a distance to the subject computed from a distance between eyes included in the detected face. A mode-recognition-and-determination-and mode-selection section automatically determines the photographic scene from the distance information acquired through the TTL-AF operation, the reliability of the distance, and an estimated white balance value. |
