Abstract
There is provided a digital photographic instrument comprising an edge enhancing section which enhances the edge of image data. The instrument determines whether a focus is good or bad and adjusts the degree of edge enhancement in the edge enhancing section according to the result of the determination, thereby giving a sharp photograph. The instrument also shortens time required for focusing by complementing an autofocusing mechanism.
