An image processing apparatusincludes: an analysis range indicating sectionthat indicates an analysis range that is a range, on a screen of captured-image data, that has a brightness higher than a predetermined brightness; a color analysis sectionthat analyzes a color included in the analysis range; a color correction instructing sectionthat gives an instruction to perform a color correction, on the basis of the color analysis; and an image generatorthat corrects the captured-image data on the basis of the color correction instruction, so as to generate a corrected image.

Image processing apparatus

An image capturing apparatus includes: an image capturing section that outputs first captured-image data obtained by capturing an image at a relatively low ISO speed, and second captured-image data obtained by capturing an image at an ISO speed higher than the ISO speed for the first captured-image data; a color analysis circuit that analyzes a display color included in a display image of the first captured-image data; a color correction instructing circuit that gives an instruction to correct a display color of the second captured-image data according to a result of the analysis; and an image generation circuit that corrects the display color of the second captured-image data so as to generate an image to be displayed.

Image capturing apparatus

According to the present invention, an imaging apparatus includes: a screen generating unit which generates a help screen by displaying allocation parameter corresponding to each of operation units on an operation unit layout drawing indicating positions of the operation units on the basis of a parameter database showing the operation unit allocated to each of the allocation parameters; and a display change judgment unit which judges whether to change the display state of the operation unit layout drawing, wherein the screen generating unit changes the angle of the operation unit layout drawing when there are operation unit layout drawings drawn from different angles and when the display change judgment unit judges to change the display state.

Imaging apparatus, and imaging system

An image processing device of the present invention comprises a designation section for designating an adjustment amount using a first adjustment axis for carrying out first adjustment to adjust so as to displace white balance of image data in a hue direction that has been designated by the user, and a second adjustment axis for carrying out second adjustment to adjust saturation of the image data that has had white balance adjusted by the first adjustment axis, an image processing section for applying first image processing corresponding to the first adjustment to the image data, and applying second image processing corresponding to the second adjustment to the image data that has been subjected to the first image processing, wherein the image processing section changes the second image processing depending on the first image processing.
