Abstract

An imaging portion performs imaging of a subject. A time lapse imaging condition setting portion sets a time lapse imaging condition including at least an exposure time and an imaging interval, prior to the imaging of the subject by the imaging portion. A determining portion determines a contradiction of the time lapse imaging condition set by the time lapse imaging condition setting portion according to a predetermined criterion. A presenting portion presents at least information relating to the contradiction of the time lapse imaging condition based on a determined result by the determining portion.
