Imaging apparatus with colorimetric sensor

1. An imaging apparatus, comprising:

an imaging unit acquiring color image data of a subject;

a display unit displaying the image data acquired by the imaging unit;

a colorimetric position acquisition unit acquiring colorimetric position data corresponding to a colorimetric part selected by a user in the image data displayed on the displayunit;

a colorimetric position data record unit recording the colorimetric position data;

a light source;

a colorimetric unit provided near the light source, performing a colorimetric process at a colorimetric instruction from the user, and acquiring colorimetric data as a result of the colorimetric process;

a colorimetric data record unit recording the colorimetric data;

an illumination light measuring unit measuring illumination light at an illumination light measure instruction from a user, and acquiring illumination light data as a result of measurement;

an illumination light data record unit recording the illumination light data; and

a storage unit associating the image data displayed on the display unit, the colorimetric position data recorded on the colorimetric position data record unit, and the colorimetric data recorded on the colorimetric data record unit, and storing the data,

wherein the storage unit stores the image data displayed on the display unit, the colorimetric position data recorded on the colorimetric position data record unit, the colorimetric data recorded on the colorimetric data record unit; and the illumination light data recorded on the illumination light data record unit after associating the data with one another.

2. The imaging apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a color correction unit performing a color correction on a colorimetric part of the image data corresponding to the colorimetric position data based on the colorimetric data and the illumination light data affected part by the illumination light measuring unit when the colorimetric data is acquired by the colorimetric unit.

3. The imaging apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the color correction unit performs a color correction on the image data based on the illumination light data detected by the illumination light measuring unit when the image data is shot by the imaging unit.

4. The imaging apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising a color correction amount input unit receiving an amount of color correction from a user, wherein the color correction unit performs a color correction on the image data based on the amount of color correction input by the color correction amount input unit.

5. The imaging apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:

the imaging unit comprises an image pickup device for converting a subject image into an electric signal; and

the colorimetric unit acquires more spectral information than the image pickup device.

6. The imaging apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:

the imaging unit comprises an image pickup device for converting a subject image into an electric signal; and

the illumination light measuring unit acquires more spectral information than the image pickup device.

7. The imaging apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the colorimetric unit is a spectral colorimeter or a chromatic colorimeter.

8. The imaging apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the illumination light measuring unit is a spectral colorimeter or a chromatic colorimeter.

9. The imaging apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the display unit is a touch panel.
