IMAGING DEVICE

摘要

There is provided an imaging device having an imaging element capable of switching between a logarithmic conversion operation and a linear conversion operation. The imaging device enables a user to acquire a desired image. The imaging device (1) includes: an imaging element (4) having a plurality of pixels capable of switching between the linear conversion operation for linearly converting the incident light into an electric signal and the logarithmic conversion operation for logarithmically converting the incident light into an electric signal, according to the incident light quantity; a monitor (11) for displaying image data obtained by the imaging device (4); an operation unit (21) for specifying an arbitrary region in the image displayed on the monitor (11); and an inflection point modification unit (22) for evaluating the output signal of the imaging device (4) in the region specified bon the screen of the monitor (11) and modifying the inflection point as a boundary between the linear region and the logarithmic region in the output signal of the imaging element (4) according to the evaluation result.
