Abstract
The imaging device includes: an imaging unit that generates image data from the optical information input through an optical system unit; an image processor that performs a predetermined process to the image data; and a controller that controls the optical system unit, the imaging unit, and the image processor based on a set value relating to video capturing. The controller sets the set value to a corresponding value relating to the video capturing in each of a first and a second video mode, and automatically sets the set value in the second video mode to a value more suitable for recording a still image so that image quality of a still image in the second video mode is greater than image quality of a still image in the first video mode. The video in the second video mode is captured from start to end of a video recording.
