Abstract
In an imaging apparatus having LEDfor emitting light toward an object, an imaging unithaving CCDgenerates a first object image with LEDemitting light and a second object image with LEDemitting no light. Average brightness of the first object image and average brightness of the second object image are calculated. Brightness difference between the average brightness of the first object image and the average brightness of the second object image is calculated. Brightness difference of the object is obtained using the calculated brightness difference between the first and second object images, and under control of CPU, a process is executed for adjusting exposure conditions based on the brightness difference of the object.
