Abstract
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.
