PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To ensure real time property of scene discrimination which is conventionally damaged because estimation of imaging scene consumes time when a high-level algorithm such as a convolution neural network is boarded.SOLUTION: An imaging apparatus comprises: a photometric sensor for performing photometry of a field; estimation means which estimates the classification of a subject in the field on the basis of photometric data outputted by the photometric sensor; setting means which sets imaging conditions on the basis of the estimated classification; and imaging means for imaging the subject under the set imaging conditions.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】従来の構成では、畳み込みニューラルネットワーク等の高度なアルゴリズムを実装すると、撮影シーンの推定処理に時間がかかってしまい、シーン判別のリアルタイム性が損なわれてしまう。【解決手段】撮影装置を、被写界を測光する測光センサと、測光センサより出力される測光データに基づいて被写界内の被写体の分類を推定する推定手段と、推定された分類に基づいて撮影条件を設定する設定手段と、設定された撮影条件で被写体を撮像する撮像手段とを備える構成とする。【選択図】図２
