Abstract
An imaging apparatus includes an imaging section, a signal processor that analyzes video data obtained from the imaging section, calculates a most suitable exposure condition for an entire area of the video data to set the most suitable exposure condition to the imaging section, and outputs most suitable video data imaged on the most suitable exposure condition, a partial area clipping section that clips area video data from a partial area of the most suitable video data to output the area video data, and an exposure condition calculator that calculates a most suitable area exposure condition based on the area video data. The exposure condition calculator sets the most suitable area exposure condition to the imaging section and the signal processor.
