Patent ID: 8692903

Claim:
An imaging device, comprising: an imaging element configured to convert light that has entered from an optical system into an electric signal, and to output the electric signal as an imaging signal; a macro shooting determination section configured to determine whether shooting is macro shooting or not; a low color temperature light source determination section configured to determine whether or not the shooting is performed in a lower color temperature light source based on color information; a first white balance correction coefficient calculator configured to calculate a white balance correction coefficient so as to obtain an image in which a color of the low color temperature light source is added; and a second white balance correction coefficient calculator configured to calculate a white balance correction coefficient so as to obtain an image in which the color of the low color temperature light source is not added in the lower color temperature light source and in the macro shooting, wherein a calculation process of the first white balance correction coefficient calculator and a calculation process of the second white balance correction coefficient calculator are switched based on a result of the macro shooting determination section in the low color temperature light source.
