Embodiment Construction

[0025] Embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the drawings.

[0026] figure 1 is a block diagram of a digital camera as an image pickup device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0027] exist figure 1 Among them, an optical system 1 includes: a lens for forming an image of an object on an image pickup element 2; and a lens frame for supporting the lens, although not shown in the drawings. Changing the focal length and focusing can be performed by the frame.

[0028] The image pickup element 2 is an image sensor configured with a plurality of pixels, such as CCD (Charge Coupled Device), CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor), etc., photoelectrically converts an imaged object, and outputs an analog electric signal.

[0029] The image pickup control unit 3 controls the operation of the image pickup element 2, performs analog signal processing such as CDS (Correlated Double Sampling), AGC (Automatic Gain Control), e...

Abstract

An image pickup apparatus includes: an image pickup unit capturing a subject; an image generation unit performing image processing by different parameter values of a same parameter on an original image captured by the image pickup unit, and generating a plurality of images; and a multi-window display unit displaying the plurality of images generated by the image generation unit or the original image and the plurality of images generated by the image generation unit. The parameter is exposure correction or white balance.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image pickup device capable of changing shooting modes and shooting parameters. Background technique [0002] Recently, many digital cameras having a function of changing shooting modes and shooting parameters have been sold. [0003] For example, there is white balance as a photographing parameter of a digital camera. These digital cameras can produce better images in many cases by changing shooting modes and shooting parameters according to shooting environments. In recent years, cameras have generally been provided with an automatic white balance function for automatically adjusting the white balance. Auto White Balance is the automatic adjustment of image processing to make white objects appear white under any light source. However, when the color of the entire shooting range is biased toward a certain color, that color is corrected to white. Therefore, images are not always output in better colors. Therefor...
