The present disclosure relates to an imaging device, an imaging method, and a program that make it possible to implement an appropriate auto white balance (AWB) lock desired by a user. As a shutter button setting for applying the AWB lock, any one of Shutter Halfway Down, Continuous Shooting, or Off can be select and set. Furthermore, a setting is configured in which an AWBL button is assigned to a custom button so that the AEB lock can be applied by either a hold operation or a toggle operation. The present disclosure can be applied to an imaging device.

Imaging device and imaging method

An imaging apparatus includes: an imaging device acquiring a captured image on a subject; a display section; setting means for setting whether to make effective a temporary recording mode in which the captured image is temporarily recorded in a first storage section; if the temporary recording mode is effective, display control means for playback displaying the captured image recorded in the first storage section from when the temporary recording mode has been effective on the display section in response to an instruction operation of a user; and recording control means for recording an image specified by the user from the playback-displayed captured images in a second storage section as an image to be saved.

Imaging apparatus having temporary recording mode and direct recording mode

An imaging apparatus includes an imaging device for capturing images, a display section, a temporary memory for temporarily recording captured images, a main memory for recording the captured images and a setting mechanism for setting one of a temporary recording mode and a direct recording mode. The images temporarily recorded are displayed for the user to select images to be saved, and the selected images are recorded into the main memory and deleted from the temporary memory. All of the non-selected images remaining in the temporary memory are deleted at once at a predetermined timing instructed by the user.
