Original Abstract Submitted
A photographing apparatus includes a camera; a light-emitting device provided in the vicinity of the camera; a human sensor that detects a photographic subject; first light emission control means for controlling light emission of the light-emitting device in accordance with a first mode when the photographic subject is detected; detection means for detecting that a photograph-taking timing has arrived when an interocular distance of the photographic subject in an image generated by the camera in accordance with the first mode becomes at least a prescribed distance; and second light emission control means for controlling light emission of the light-emitting device, at the photograph-taking timing, in accordance with a second mode in which a light emission intensity is higher than in the first mode.
