| 1. An image-taking apparatus that includes an imaging device and generates image data representing a subject image formed
on the imaging device in response to a shooting operation, the apparatus comprising:
a face-detecting section that detects a face in the subject image;
a face-metering section that meters individual faces when the faces are detected by the face-detecting section, thereby obtaining
metered values for the respective faces;
a calculation section that calculates correct exposure values for the respective faces based on the metered values obtained
by the face-metering section; and
a shooting section that performs, in response to a single shooting instruction, shootings with correct exposures for the respective
faces based on the correct exposure values for the respective faces calculated by the calculation section.
