Patent ID: 7598990

Claim:
An electronic imaging device comprising: a lens shading correcting circuit; a noise reduction filter; an optical unit including a lens which focuses an image of a subject; and an image pick-up section including an image pick-up element, which is disposed at a rear of an optical axis of a lens system and carries out image pick-up via the optical unit, and an analog/digital converter converting an analog image signal from the image pick-up element into a digital image signal, wherein the lens shading correcting circuit carries out shading correction by multiplying image data from the analog/digital converter by a gain which is proportional to a distance from a center of the lens, and the noise reduction filter carries out noise reduction processing by using a value which varies inversely proportionately to the gain and parameters used at the noise reduction filter are varied dynamically in accordance with an amount of correction at the lens shading correcting circuit.
