Abstract
The level of light that impinges upon a CCD is construed to be low when a high-sensitivity image sensing mode has been set. Gain for high-sensitivity image sensing is set in a gain adjusting circuit (color balance adjusting circuit) and a color balance adjustment is performed based upon the set gain. Thus an appropriate color balance adjustment is carried out even if light having a low level impinges upon the CCD.
