Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an imaging apparatus, an imaging method and a program, and a reproduction apparatus according to which an image sensor is divided into a plurality of areas and exposure control may be performed for each area according to the amount of camera shake. An imaging apparatus which is an aspect of the present disclosure includes an image sensor unit for generating pixel data of a pixel constituting a frame by photoelectric conversion, a calculation unit for calculating an amount of camera shake in each of areas obtained by dividing the frame, and a control unit for controlling exposure time of the image sensor for each of the areas according to the amount of camera shake calculated for each of the areas. The present disclosure is applicable to an electronic device such as a camera including an area ADC type image sensor, for example.
