Abstract
An imaging apparatus includes a camera, a cover covering the camera and capable of changing reflectance of a surface thereof, and a control unit configured to control the reflectance of the surface of the cover so as to be switchable between a first mode and a second mode. The first mode causes light to reflect at the surface of the cover. The second mode causes light to pass through the cover and the reflectance in which is different from that in the first mode.
