1. An image shooting device comprising:

  • an image shooting component that outputs a set of image data that is obtained by shooting a subject and which represents the subject, the set of image data comprising target region image data that correspond to a detection target region that includes the subject;

    a brightness detector that detects a brightness level from the target region image data;

    a flash component that emits light toward the subject;

    a shift detector that detects a shift amount, of a subject position in a set of image data, of a shift that has arisen due to shaking of the image shooting device;

    a controller that, on the basis of the shift amount detected by the shift detector, corrects at least one of two sets of image data comprising a set of image data acquired in a state in which the flash component is not emitting light or a set of image data acquired in a state in which the flash component is emitting light, such that positions of the detection target region with respect to the subject position of the respective sets of image data are substantially matched; and

    a flash amount determining component that determines a flash amount of the flash component on the basis of the detected brightness level.
