Patent ID: 8786727

Claim:
A photographing apparatus, comprising: a photographing device which has a plurality of color filters of different colors, which carries out transfer of electrification of all pixels recorded in the photographing device from an exposure of one time point by dividing a data transfer into a plurality of fields N when transferring the electrification, each field being further divided into a plurality of groups, each group having N sets of color filters and having all the different colors used for the color filters, and which is configured to perform an N line interlace transfer, where each of the plurality of fields, transferring the electrification, includes electrification corresponding to all the different color signals used for the color filters; an extraction device configured to extract, from the electrification included in one or more transferred fields, characteristic data corresponding to all of the color signals of an image, when processing for the image is started; a generating device configured to generate a control value carrying out a correction of the image based on the extracted characteristic data; an image processing device configured to process the transfer data including the image and from which the characteristic data are extracted, by use of the control value; and a memory device configured to record image data resulting from the processing of the image.
