Claim:
1. An image pickup device, comprising: an image pickup unit; a chart storage medium that stores a calibration chart relating to parameters of point image restoration processing; and a processor configured to perform, transmitting the calibration chart stored in the chart storage medium to an external display device, determining whether or not calibration of the parameters of the point image restoration processing is required based on a calibration image, which is obtained by imaging the calibration chart displayed on the external display device using the image pickup unit, and outputting the determination result, controlling execution of the calibration by outputting a calibration execution command when it is determined that the calibration is required according to the determination regarding whether or not the calibration is required, performing the calibration of the parameters of the point image restoration processing based on the calibration image in response to the calibration execution command, wherein the image pickup unit has a bracketing imaging mode, and the processor performs the calibration of the parameters of the point image restoration processing based on a plurality of the calibration images captured by the image pickup unit after selection of the bracketing imaging mode, wherein the image pickup unit is synchronized with the external display device, and the image pickup unit images the calibration chart that is displayed in synchronization with the external display device according to imaging of the image pickup unit in the bracketing imaging mode.
