Imaging apparatus capable of notification of information about a presence of a flicker and execution of processing for reducing an influence of the flicker, a control method for an imaging apparatus, and a non-transitory recording medium recording a program for causing a computer to execute a control method
Abstract:
At least one imaging apparatus includes a sensor configured to output a signal according to an incident light amount, a calculation unit configured to calculate an evaluation value in regard to a flicker based on the output signal from the sensor, a notification unit configured to notify a user of information about a presence of the flicker based on the evaluation value, and a control unit configured to control processing for reducing an influence of the flicker based on the evaluation value. When the evaluation value is equal to or larger than a first threshold value, the notification unit notifies the user of the information about the presence of the flicker. When the evaluation value is equal to or larger than a second threshold value which is larger than the first threshold value, the control unit performs control to carry out processing for reducing the influence of the flicker.
