Abstract
An imaging device, comprising: an image sensor that forms a subject image by means of an optical system, and a processor that comprises a flicker streak detection section and a determination section, wherein the flicker streak detection section divides an imaging range of the image sensor into a plurality of regions, performs photometry of the regions that have been divided based on an pixel signal output by the image sensor, and detects divided regions in which it is expected that flicker streaks exist, and the determination section determines whether or not it was possible to detect flicker streaks using the flicker streak detection section, wherein the flicker streak detection section, in a case where it has been determined by the determination section that it was not possible to detect flicker streaks, reduces area of the divided regions and detects divided regions in which it is expected that flicker streaks will exist.
