Abstract
An electronic camera capable of exposure control is disclosed which flexibly responds to situations during the display of confirmation moving image before photographing. An aspect of an electronic camera includes: an image-capturing device capturing images of subjects; a display section displaying the image outputted from the image-capturing device in real time during continuous capturing; and a control unit performing feedback control that is a repetition of a loop that corrects capturing condition based on the brightness of the image outputted from the image-capturing device, in which the control unit sets at least two kinds of capturing conditions to include entire dynamic range of the image-capturing device in first loop immediately after feedback control starts, and based on levels of brightness of at least two kinds of images outputted from the image-capturing device under the capturing conditions, calculates correct capturing conditions for images outputted following the images to obtain correct exposures.
