PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an imaging device and an imaging method capable of improving an image quality of a combined image in a case where images obtained as a result of a plurality of times of imaging are combined.SOLUTION: An imaging device comprises: an imaging unit 102 that images an object to obtain image data related to the object; a motion detector 1125 that detects the motion of the object in the image data; and a controller 112 that, when it is considered that the object stops as a result of the motion detection, makes the imaging unit 102 perform a plurality of times of imaging while changing an imaging condition, and performs processing of combining the image data obtained by the plurality of times of imaging.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】複数回の撮像の結果として得られる画像の合成を行う場合の合成後の画像の画質を向上することができる撮像装置及び撮像方法を提供すること。【解決手段】撮像装置は、対象物を撮像して対象物に係る画像データを得る撮像部１０２と、画像データにおける対象物の動きを検出する動き検出部１１２５と、動きの検出の結果、対象物が止まっているとみなされるときに、撮像部１０２の撮像条件を変更しながら複数回の撮像を行わせ、複数回の撮像によって得られた画像データを合成する処理を行う制御部１１２とを備える。【選択図】図１
