IMAGING APPARATUS, TRANSMITTANCE DESIGNATION DEVICE, TRANSMITTANCE CONTROL METHOD, AND PROGRAM

Abstract:

An imaging apparatus includes a variable neutral density filter that has a variable transmittance; an imaging device on which object light via the variable neutral density filter forms an image; variable transmittance drive unit circuitry that changes the transmittance of the variable neutral density filter in accordance with a transmittance control value; a hardware input device that can be in a first state or in a second state depending on a change in form; and transmittance designation circuitry. Further, when the hardware input device is in the first state, the transmittance designation sets the transmittance control value in accordance with an operation amount of the hardware input device and notifies the variable transmittance drive circuitry of the transmittance control value.
