Abstract
An electronic camera includes an image pickup device, a partial image area position detecting section, a maximal image correcting value output section, and an image processing section. The image pickup device includes a light-receiving plane photoelectrically converting a subject image, and reads any partial image area from a maximal image area used to generate an image with maximum pixel numbers on the plane. The partial image area position detecting section detects positional data on the partial image area according to the maximal image area. The maximal image correcting value output section outputs maximal image correcting values, that are set based on the entire characteristic of the maximal image area and used for image processing image signals of the maximal image area. The image processing section extracts applied correcting values based on positional data and performs image processing on image signals of the partial image area using the applied correcting values.
