Abstract
An imaging device performs control for changing evaluation values calculated for specific areas which are at least a portion of segment areas around a segment area where a brightness difference calculated by subtracting non-light emission image data from pre-light emission image data is negative or a segment area where a brightness difference calculated by subtracting the pre-light emission image data from the non-light emission image data is positive so that the evaluation values are reduced when the brightness difference is calculated by subtracting the non-light emission image data from the pre-light emission image data and an absolute value of the negative evaluation values are reduced when the brightness difference is calculated by subtracting the pre-light emission image data from the non-light emission image data, in a case where the brightness differences of all segment areas include negative and positive values together.
