A digital camera includes: an image sensor that captures an image of a
subject and outputs an image signal; and a control device that engages
the image sensor to capture an image at an exposure value having been
set, makes a decision as to whether or not an overflow or an underflow
deviating from a dynamic range of the image sensor manifests, calculates
an exposure correction quantity with which the exposure value having been
set is to be corrected in order to reduce the overflow or the underflow
based upon results of the decision and engages the image sensor to
capture a new image at an exposure value having been corrected in
correspondence to the exposure correction quantity.
