When the quantity of light diagonally entering light-receiving portions of an image-capturing element in an electronic camera is large and thus an electrical charge is generated readily in an electrical charge transfer line, hue correction processing is executed to correct any change occurring in the hue induced by the charge generated in the electrical charge transfer line.

Image-capturing apparatus and computer-readable computer program product including image processing program

A camera executes a photographing operation with multiple flashes. The camera includes a photometering unit and a control unit. The control unit controls light emission at a first electronic flash unit which is either built into or externally mounted at the camera and transmits a light signal constituting a preliminary light emission command to a second electronic flash unit provided separately from the camera by engaging the first electronic flash unit in light emission. The photometering unit photometers a subject when the second electronic flash unit executes a preliminary light emission. The control unit allows a photographing operation to be executed if a photometered value detected at the photometering unit is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value.
