Abstract
A main solid-state electronic image sensing device and a subordinate solid-state electronic image sensing device are included in a digital camera. The light source is estimated from image data obtained from the main electronic image sensing device, and white balance gain conforming to the estimated light source is calculated for the purpose of white balance adjustment. When the setting is such that white balance gain regarding image data that has been output from the subordinate solid-state electronic image sensing device conforms to the light source estimated from the image data of the main solid-state electronic image sensing device, the gain is calculated accordingly. When the setting is such that white balance gain regarding image data that has been output from the subordinate solid-state electronic image sensing device conforms to a light source estimated from the image data of the subordinate solid-state electronic image sensing device, the gain is calculated accordingly.
