FIELD: physics.
SUBSTANCE: imaging device that communicates with an external device through the network, includes: an imaging unit; the first image processing unit configured to change, by the image processing, the brightness of the captured image to be output from the imaging unit; the second image processing unit configured to change, by the image processing, which differs from the image processing performed by the first image processing unit, the brightness of the captured image to be output from the imaging unit; a reception unit configured to receive, from the external device through the network, a single command, in which the first image processing information to control the first image processing unit operation and the second image processing information to control the second image processing unit operation can be described; and a control unit configured to control the first and the second image processing units in accordance with the command received by the reception unit.
EFFECT: elimination of excessive brightness when forming an image with a wide dynamic range.
