Patent ID: 7417671

Claim:
An image capture apparatus comprising: an image sensing device which converts an optical image into an electric signal; an analog-to-digital converter which converts the electric signal output from the image sensing device into digital image data; a storage unit which stores the image data, in a non-compressed form or a lossless-compressed form; a first setting unit which sets a white balance parameter; a white balance correction unit which implements white balance correction on the image data read from the storage unit in accordance with the white balance parameter set by the first setting unit; a display which displays a setting screen providing a first adjustment mode in which color temperature is adjustable in a color temperature direction by a user and a second adjustment mode in which another parameter for white balance other than the color temperature is adjustable in a direction different from the color temperature direction with both an axis of the color temperature direction and an axis of the different direction being displayed on the setting screen; and a second setting unit which sets a new white balance parameter for the white balance correction unit in accordance with the color temperature and the another parameter adjusted in at least one of the first adjustment mode and the second adjustment mode, wherein a cross point of the axis of the color temperature direction and the axis of the different direction is positioned so as to be a point indicating a white color on a black body radiation locus according to the white balance parameter set by the first setting unit.
