ABSTRACT:
A digital camera is provided with a photographing lens having a aperture mechanism, an imaging section, including an image sensor for capturing a subject image via the photographing lens, a display section capable of displaying image information, an aperture drive section for driving the aperture mechanism to a specified position in response to manual operation of a preview instruction member, and a control section for causing execution of an exposure operation for a specified period in the imaging section, and causing display of a moving image on the display section based on image data acquired by the exposure operation. The control section stops the moving image display during drive of the aperture mechanism by the aperture drive mechanism, to thereby prevent unnatural variation in brightness of an image in live view display when a preview operation is carried out.
