Abstract
A subject region discrimination unitdiscriminates a desired subject region on the basis of ranging information. A subject photometric region setting unitperforms image signal processing of the desired subject region that is discriminated by the subject region discrimination unit, and sets a photometric region corresponding to the subject region after the processing as a subject photometric region. A photometric value calculation unitcalculates a photometric value of the desired subject region by using a photometric value of the subject photometric region that is set by the subject photometric region setting unit. For this reason, it is possible to accurately acquire the photometric value with respect to the desired subject region, and it is possible to perform optimal exposure control with respect to the desired subject region by using the photometric value that is calculated by the photometric value calculation unit.
