Patent ID: 8120668

Claim:
An electronic camera, comprising: an imager which respectively outputs N (N: an integer of equal to or more than 2) partial images, each of which partially represents a scene captured on an imaging surface, from N output terminals, in response to a first clock having a frequency of equal to or less than a first frequency; a processor which respectively performs N predetermined processes that respond to a second clock having a frequency 1/N the frequency of the first clock, on N partial images outputted from said imager; an outputter which outputs an image based on N partial images processed by said processor; a creator which creates an evaluation image based on N partial images outputted from said imager, in response to a third clock; a frequency adjuster which adjusts a frequency of the third clock within a range in which 1/N the first frequency is an upper limit; and a parameter adjuster which adjusts a parameter for regulating a quality of the image outputted by said outputter, based on the evaluation image created by said creator.
