20090213247 | Image pickup apparatus, image pickup method , and image pickup control program - When flash photography is performed, an exposure time at the time of the preliminary light emission of a flash is set as short as possible so that the appropriate amount of light required for the main light emission of the flash can be accurately computed regardless of the amount of external light. Before the main light emission of the flash, an exposure operation prior to preliminary light emission and an exposure operation at the time of preliminary light emission are performed. When the exposure operation prior to preliminary light emission is performed, after the exposure operations of all pixels included in a solid-state image pickup device have been simultaneously started at a time T | 08-27-2009 |
