A controlling value is calculated using a first white balance gain and a second white balance gain. Using the calculated controlling value, an image processing parameter is then modulated. Using this modulated image processing parameter, image data processing is performed, and storage, transmission, and the like of the image processing parameter are performed. This can realize advanced image processing reflective of the white balance gain.

Image processing apparatus and image processing method

An image pickup apparatus includes: a dimming device configured to adjust light quantity of incident image pickup light; an image pickup device configured to obtain an image pickup signal based on image pickup light emitted from the dimming device; and a color correction processing section configured to perform color correction on the image pickup signal that is obtained by the image pickup device, based on information relating to light quantity of the image pickup light emitted from the dimming device. The color correction processing section performs the color correction to allow a color balance value of the image pickup signal to be substantially constant independent of the light quantity of the image pickup light emitted from the dimming device.
