Patent ID: 8441544

Claim:
An electronic camera, comprising: an imaging part shooting a figure image; an area detection part detecting, from the figure image shot by the imaging part, a flesh-colored area including a face portion and a portion other than a face; a color judgment part judging color information of the flesh-colored area detected by the area detection part; a color difference calculation part determining a color difference between first color information of the face portion and second color information of the flesh-colored area of the portion other than the face which are judged by the color judgment part; a correction coefficient calculation part determining color correction coefficients based on the color difference determined by the color difference calculation part; an area appointment part appointing an area on which a color conversion is performed; and a color conversion part performing, when the color difference determined by the color difference calculation part is equal to or greater than a predetermined value at a time of performing the color conversion on the area appointed by the area appointment part, the color conversion on the area appointed by the area appointment part by using the color correction coefficients, wherein the color conversion part executes processing of the color conversion when a photoflash part is on, in which the photoflash part emits light at a time of shooting in the imaging part, and the correction coefficient calculation part performs, at a time of determining the color correction coefficients, the weighting on the color correction coefficients in accordance with a contribution degree with respect to the face portion when the photoflash part is luminous.
