Abstract
An imaging apparatus includes a control unit configured to perform a margin-based flickerless control. The margin-based flickerless control is a control where a timing control is performed, on the basis of a period of a detected flicker component and a peak timing of the flicker component, to synchronize a specific timing within an exposure duration with the peak timing and where the timing control is not performed as long as an offset amount of the specific timing falls within a margin set as an offset allowance from the peak timing.
