Abstract:
1. An image sensing apparatus comprising: an image sensing device which outputs image data obtained by an image sensing element as RAW data; a memory which has a first area for temporarily storing first RAW data obtained in a first image sensing operation of said image sensing device and a second area for temporarily storing second RAW data obtained in a second image sensing operation next to the first image sensing operation of said image sensing device; a white balance integration device which integrates at least one of the first and second RAW data readout from said first area and said second area, respectively, for a white balance processing; a white balance calculation device which calculates a white balance coefficient on the basis of the integration result by the white balance integration device; an image processing device which performs image processing of the first and second RAW data readout from said first area and said second area, respectively, in accordance with the white balance coefficient calculated by said white balance calculation device a display device which displays a live view image during imaging on the image sensing element; and a control device which controls said memory, said white balance integration device, said image processing device, and said display device,
