Abstract
Two kinds of color images, obtained by a solid-state imaging device, having different color tones are combined with each other. A first captured color image due to a first pixel group (pixels in which spectral sensitivities of color filters are wide) of the solid-state imaging device is processed. A second captured color image due to a second pixel group (pixels in which spectral sensitivities of color filters are narrow) is processed. The level difference between captured image signals of the pixels of the first pixel group and captured image signals of the pixels of the second pixel group, and due to the spectral sensitivity difference between the color filters in which the spectral sensitivities are wide and narrow is obtained (steps Sand S). The level difference is corrected. The first captured color image and the second captured color image are combined with each other.
