Abstract
Output signals (pixel values) output from a sensor unit in which image sensors having six kinds of color filters with different colors are arranged are classified in association with three stimulus values, a color number is reduced by performing addition processing of the output signals (pixel values) in each classification to generate an image signal of three bands, and the generated image signal is used for the preview display so that a photographed image can be checked easily and immediately.
