Illumination strength is changed in accordance with exposure time so that a fill-in ratio is maintained. The illumination strength of LEDs is gradually increased and then at the peak strength is suddenly reduced. The mixture ratio of light from LEDs having different light distributions is changed due to focal distance, and then an incidence angle is changed. A group of LEDs is disposed in a ring shape on the front of a lens. During continuous capture, LEDs are caused to illuminate continuously or synchronously. | 11-20-2014 |
