Abstract
An image processing apparatus comprises: a white balance correction unit configured to perform a white balance correction by amplifying at least one color signal in relation to mosaic image data; a compression unit configured to compress the mosaic image data; and a control unit configured to control at least the white balance correction unit and the compression unit, wherein the control unit in a case where compression by the compression unit is set to be off, controls the white balance correction to be substantially invalid, and outputs the mosaic image data, and in a case where compression by the compression unit is set to be on, controls the white balance correction to be valid, and outputs the mosaic image data after the white balance correction.
