Abstract
A digital camera includes a reference value table and a setting change-use table. The reference value table holds a plurality of reference values which respectively corresponds to a plurality of representative colors, and the setting change-use table holds a plurality of target values which respectively corresponds to a plurality of representative colors. Image data of a photographed object is applied to a signal processing circuit, and subjected to a color adjustment based on the reference value held by the reference value table and the target value held by the setting change-use table. An image based on the image data to which the color adjustment is subjected is displayed on a monitor in real-time. When a dial key is operated, the target value of a desired representative color held on the setting change-use table is changed. Therefore, a color tone of a real-time image displayed on the monitor also changes in response to an operation of the dial key.
