Abstract
A first gain value table stores gain values set in R and B amplifiers of a first gain adjusting circuit, and a second gain value table stores gain values set in R and B amplifiers of a second gain adjusting circuit. The gain values from the second gain value table are sequentially set in the second gain adjusting circuit to detect white portions. Based on the detection of the white portions, a gain value to be set in the first gain adjusting circuit is selected from the first gain value table, to obtain an image that maintains white balance.
