Abstract:
Present invention provides an imaging element that includes a first pixel group and a second pixel group, a pickup execution control unit that performs pixel addition by exposing the first pixel group and the second pixel group of the imaging element during the same exposure in a case of pickup in an SN mode and performs pixel addition by exposing the first pixel group and the second pixel group of the imaging element during different exposure times in a case of pickup in a DR mode, a diaphragm that is arranged in a light path through which the light fluxes which are incident to the imaging element pass, and a diaphragm control unit that, in the case of pickup in the DR mode, sets the diaphragm value of the diaphragm to be a value which is greater than that of the case of pickup in the SN mode.
