Abstract:
A white balance adjusting device provided in an electro-developing type camera using an electro-developing recording medium by which a color image formed thereon is electronically developed, said white balance adjusting device comprising:a first radiating processor that radiates a light having a first color temperature onto said electro-developing recording medium; a second radiating processor that radiates a light having a second color temperature, which is different from said first color temperature, onto said electro-developing recording medium; a colorimetry sensor that senses a color temperature of ambient light around an object which is to be photographed by said electro-developing type camera; and a light amount control processor that controls an amount of light radiated by said first radiating processor and said second radiating processor, in accordance with said color temperature sensed by said colorimetry sensor, so that a white balance adjustment for said color image developed by said electro-developing recording medium is performed.
