Abstract
A first-color-space converting unitreceives the image signal of first color space from a signal processing unitand converts the received image signal into the image signal of second color space which is suitable for conversion into the image signal of third color space as specified. A thinning processing unitperforms thinning process on the converted image signal representing each color component of the second color space for each pixel so as to correspond to a processor unitwhich generates the image signal representing each color component from the image signal representing one color component of color space for each pixel and output the image signal of the third color space, thereby turning it into the image signal representing one color component of the second color space for each pixel. It is possible to prevent the deterioration or the like of the image quality when the image signal representing one color component of the second color space for each pixel is output from an image pickup elementand processed by the processor unit
