Patent ID: 7525591

Claim:
A digital camera which displays acquired image data on a display part, comprising: a determination part for determining whether a brightness distribution of the acquired image data has a bimodal tendency of a high brightness side and a low brightness side; a calculation part for calculating a first exposure compensation value weighted so that the exposure of a histogram mountain in the low-brightness side is optimized, and/or a second compensation value weighted so that the exposure of a histogram mountain in the high-brightness side is optimized when the determination part determines that the acquired image data has the bimodal tendency; a correction-content display part for causing the display part to show a display for intent of adjusting the acquired image data to a low-brightness part and a display for intent of adjusting the acquired image data to a high-brightness part as correction information having correction items when the determination part determines that the acquired image data has the bimodal tendency; a correction part for correcting the acquired image data based on the first exposure compensation value when the display for intent of adjusting the acquired image data to the low-brightness part is selected as a correction item from the displayed correction information, and correcting the acquired image data based on the second exposure compensation value when the display for intent of adjusting the acquired image data to the high-brightness past is selected as a correction item from the displayed correction information; and display control means for displaying the corrected image data on the display part.
