Claims

Imaging means;
Light emitting means;
First control means for causing the light emitting means to emit light a plurality of times by main light emission and pre-light emission when recording a subject imaged by the imaging means;
A battery for supplying power to the imaging device including the imaging means and the light emitting means;
First detecting means for detecting the remaining amount of the battery;
An imaging apparatus comprising: setting means for setting the number of times of the pre-light emission based on a remaining battery level detected by the first detection means .

Second detection means for detecting the eye state of the subject imaged by the imaging means;
First determination means for determining whether or not the eye state detected by the second detection means is sufficiently reduced in red-eye;
Second control means for controlling the number of pre-emissions by the setting means based on a determination result by the first determination means;
The imaging apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

Whether or not the number of times of pre-light emission emitted by the light emitting means has reached the number of times of light emission;
The first or it is determined that the previous SL-th state is sufficiently red-eye reduction by determining means, when the number of the second of the emitted pre-emission by the judgment means is determined to become the number of emissions, First recording means for recording a subject imaged by the imaging means;
Despite not being judged that the Symbol th state is sufficiently red-eye reduction by the first determining means, the number of the emitted pre-emission becomes the number of emissions by the second determination means and When determined, correction means for correcting the state of the eye so that the red eye is reduced,
Second recording means for recording a subject in an eye state corrected by the correcting means;
The imaging apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising:

Further comprising third control means for controlling the amount of light emitted by the light emitting means based on the eye state detected by the second detecting means;
It said imaging means, said third, based on the light emission amount is controlled by the control means of the imaging apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the imaging the subject.

Third detection means for detecting brightness around the imaging device ;
The imaging apparatus according to claim 2, further comprising: an imaging control unit that controls imaging by the imaging unit based on the brightness detected by the third detection unit .

Third detection means for detecting feature data of the subject imaged by the imaging means;
A third recording means for recording the number of times or the amount of light to be emitted to the subject in association with the feature data of the subject ;
2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising third control means for controlling the number of pre-light emission by the setting means based on the number of times of light emission or the light emission amount recorded in the third recording means. Imaging device.
