Abstract
A color image recorded on an original is photoelectrically read by use of an area sensor on which an image of the color image is formed through a zoom lens. A color component image signal representing information on a predetermined color component is continuously obtained from an image formed on the area sensor and reproduced as a visible image on a CRT, while two-dimensionally moving the original and zooming the zoom lens. A plurality of color image signals are obtained from an image formed on the area sensor when the original and the zoom lens are in a position where only a desired part of the color image is displayed on the CRT, and reproduced as a visible image.
