IMAGING APPARATUS INCLUDING AUTOMATIC BRIGHTNESS ADJUSTMENT FUNCTION AND IMAGING METHOD

摘要

When a user selects an initial brightness adjustment quantity setting mode by a mode key operation in a key input device (18) provided to a digital camera (10), an initial brightness adjustment quantity setting screen (20) is displayed on a liquid crystal display in an LCD unit (16) in place of an initial screen. When the user inputs and sets an arbitrary initial brightness adjustment quantity by a cursor key operation, the input and set initial brightness adjustment quantity is stored in a non-volatile memory (17). Thereafter, when a power supply is turned off by manipulating a power supply on/off key and then the power supply is again turned on, the brightness adjustment operation relative to an imaging device (11) is executed by using the initial brightness adjustment quantity stored in the non-volatile memory (17).
