Abstract

An imaging apparatus includes: an imaging device configured to convert light into an electric signal and to output the electric signal; an exposure control section configured to variably control an exposure period of the imaging device with use of an electronic shutter; and a flicker detection section configured to detect a flicker based on variation in an output signal from the imaging device when speed of the electronic shutter is varied from relatively-high speed to relatively-low speed.
