Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an imaging device, an imaging method, an electronic apparatus, and an onboard electronic apparatus for suppressing the flicker caused by light sources over a wide range of frequencies.With the present technology, multiple images are captured consecutively at uneven intervals in a single-frame period of a video before being blended. This removes the flicker efficiently. The uneven capture timing in the single-frame period is made the same for multiple frames. This makes it possible to prevent low-frequency flicker from getting higher in frequency. The present disclosure may be applied to onboard cameras, for example.
