ABSTRACT:
At least one exemplary embodiment is directed to an imaging device, for taking images under different exposure conditions to create a single image, which includes a first condition-obtaining device configured to obtain a first exposure condition candidate for an Nth imaging according to image signals of the imaging prior to the Nth imaging; a second condition-obtaining device configured to obtain a second exposure condition candidate for the Nth imaging according to imaging conditions of the imaging prior to the Nth imaging; and a condition-determining device configured to determine exposure conditions for the Nth imaging according to at least one of the first and second exposure condition candidates.
