Original Abstract Submitted
an imaging apparatus that performs image capturing operation in a plurality of operation modes, includes: an image sensor that captures a subject image via an optical system to generate image data; a temperature acquisition circuit that acquires temperature of the image sensor; and a controller that switches the plurality of operation modes based on the temperature of the image sensor. the plurality of operation modes includes a first operation mode and a second operation mode in which the image sensor consumes less power than in the first operation mode. the controller changes an operation mode of the imaging apparatus from the first operation mode to the second operation mode when the temperature of the image sensor increases to first temperature in image capturing operation in the first operation mode. the first temperature is lower than temperature at which execution of a predetermined function is restricted in the imaging apparatus.
