Abstract
A light amount control unit of an endoscope derives a photometric value in an area of an observation spot corresponding to each of angular ranges of a first light output unit and a second light output unit having different wavelength ranges based on imaging data about the observation spot output from an imaging unit, derives an amount of light from each of the first light output unit and the second light output unit based on the derived photometric value, and causes each of the first light output unit and the second light output unit to output illumination light based on the derived amount of light.
