Electronic camera
View Patent ↗An electronic camera is provided with: a gain information calculator for calculating gain information indicating a gain of a color information signal in a predetermined aperture state based on a gain of a color information signal obtained by performing a white balance adjustment using an object image signal; a storer for storing the gain information calculated by the gain information calculator, a detector for detecting a difference between an aperture state at a time of photographing and a predetermined aperture state; a corrector for correcting the gain information stored by the storer based on the difference detected by the detector; and an adjustor for adjusting the color information signal at a time of photographing by using the gain information corrected by the corrector.
1. An electronic camera, comprising:
a gain information calculator which calculates gain information indicating a gain that is imparted to a color information signal obtained by performing a white balance adjustment in a predetermined optical aperture state based on a gain that has been imparted to a color information signal obtained by performing a white balance adjustment by using an object image signal;
a storer which stores the gain information calculated by said gain information calculator;
a detector which detects a difference between an aperture state at a time of photographing and the predetermined optical aperture state;
a corrector which corrects the gain information stored by said storer based on the difference detected by said detector; and
an adjustor which adjusts a color information signal at a time of photographing by using the gain information corrected by said corrector,
wherein when there is a difference between an optical aperture state when an object image signal used for the white balance adjustment is obtained and the predetermined optical aperture state, said gain information calculator calculates the gain information indicating a gain that is imparted to the color information signal obtained by performing the white balance adjustment in the predetermined optical aperture state by correcting the gain that has been imparted to the color information signal obtained by performing the white balance adjustment according to the difference.
2. An electronic camera according to claim 1 , wherein said gain information calculator performs the white balance adjustment by obtaining the object image signal in a state set to the predetermined optical aperture state thereby calculating the gain information indicating the gain that is imparted to the color information signal obtained by performing the white balance adjustment in the predetermined optical aperture state.
