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.
