Abstract: an imaging control apparatus is configured to detect a first object and a second object appearing on an image captured by a camera. the first object is higher in luminance than the second object. when the second object is not detected on the image, the imaging control apparatus works to adjusts an exposure time of the camera to a first exposure time which is used when the first object is detected. alternatively. when the second object is detected, the imaging control apparatus adjusts the exposure time of the camera to a second exposure time which is longer than the first exposure time. this eliminates a failure in identifying colors on the image and also minimizes a risk of appearance of flicker on the image.
