An imaging device of the present invention comprises a storage section for holding an initial white point of a display panel, a calculation section for calculating target white point of the display panel based on light source information for the shooting environment, a determination section for making a white point range corresponding to an adaptive light source range, and determining whether or not the initial white point or the target white point are outside the adaptive tracking range, and a display control section for carrying out controls so as to change white point of the display panel over time from the initial white point to the target white point, wherein, in the event that the initial white point or the target white point is outside the adaptive tracking range, a new initial white point or a new target white point is calculated so as to be within the adaptive range.
