Original Abstract Submitted
An imaging apparatus includes at least one processor, and a memory coupled to the at least one processor. The memory stores instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to acquire a parameter related to a brightness of a subject; determine whether to insert a first filter configured to attenuate infrared light into a light path of an imaging optical system, based on whether the acquired parameter satisfies a predetermined condition; and correct the predetermined condition based on whether a second filter different from the first filter and configured to attenuate light is inserted into the light path of the imaging optical system.
