Abstract
Provided is an image-capturing device that reduces the effect of direct incident light on an image-capturing element and allows a high contrast image to be obtained. An image-capturing device includes: an image-capturing element; a light emitting element; and an image data correction unit, wherein the light emitting element irradiates a subject with light, the image-capturing element senses the light reflected by the subject and generates an image data, and the image data correction unit corrects the image data by subtracting incident light directly entered into the image-capturing element from the light emitting element without being reflected by the subject from the image data.
