To provide an imaging apparatus and a method for controlling an imaging apparatus during imaging which can easily change setting and cancelling of such a special imaging as a slow shutter imaging.SOLUTION: A predetermined imaging operation is detected in a device (S5), and one is selected from a first exposure setting and a second exposure setting according to whether the imaging operation satisfies a preset detection condition (S8, S9). On the basis of the selected exposure setting, an exposure time and a diaphragm value are controlled and images are taken continuously. If there is no detected input of the predetermined imaging operation while images are continuously taken (S5), the first exposure setting is selected (S9), and if there is a detected input of the predetermined imaging operation (S5:Yes), the second exposure setting is selected (S8).SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 10A 【課題】撮影中に、スローシャッタ撮影等の特殊撮影への設定と解除を容易に変更できるようにした撮像装置および撮像装置の制御方法を提供する。【解決手段】装置に対して、予め設定された撮影操作を検出し（Ｓ５）、この撮影操作が、予め設定された検出条件を満たすか否かに応じて、第１露出設定と、第２露出設定の内からいずれか１つを選択している（Ｓ８、Ｓ９）。選択された露出設定に基づいて、露光時間と絞り値を制御して、連続的に画像を取得し、連続的に画像を取得させている間に、予め設定された撮影操作の入力を検出しない場合は（Ｓ５Ｎｏ）、第１露出設定を選択し（Ｓ９）、予め設定された撮影操作の入力を検出する場合は（Ｓ５Ｙｅｓ）、第２露出設定を選択する（Ｓ８）。【選択図】 図１０Ａ
