Claim Text:
1. An image pickup auxiliary light source device comprising: a light emitting diode; an electric double-layer capacitor that supplies electric power to the light emitting diode; and a non-volatile memory that stores illumination color information of the light emitting diode for color correction in processing an image picked up under illumination by the light emitting diode, wherein the electric double-layer capacitor is supplied with electric power from a rechargeable power source battery, and wherein the image pickup auxiliary light source device further comprises a switchover control portion that performs a switchover between power supply from the electric double-layer capacitor to the light emitting diode and power supply directly from the rechargeable power source battery to the light emitting diode without passing through the electric double-layer capacitor.
