Abstract
In order to suppress degradation of color reproducibility in a visible light image or a composite image obtained by compositing the visible light image and an infrared light image, an image processing apparatus obtains a first image obtained by a first image capturing element that generates a visible-range image based on incident light from an imaging optical system, estimates received light intensity of infrared light that enters the first image capturing element, and controls a white balance adjustment on the first image based on the received light intensity estimated by the estimation unit.
