Claim One:
1. An electronic camera, comprising: a storage unit that stores a plurality of first image quality adjustment algorithms, each of which is constructed of a combination of a plurality of adjustment parameters; an information acquisition unit that acquires, from an external device, a second image quality adjustment algorithm constructed of a plurality of adjustment parameters, which is different from any of the first image quality adjustment algorithms, and stores the second image quality adjustment algorithm into the storage unit; an algorithm selection unit that selects one image quality adjustment algorithm among the plurality of first image quality adjustment algorithms and the second image quality adjustment algorithm; an image processing unit that performs image quality adjustment using the image quality adjustment algorithm selected by the algorithm selection unit; and a parameter changing mode setting unit that is capable to set one of a first parameter changing mode in which values of the plurality of adjustment parameters constructing the image quality adjustment algorithm are changed to a predetermined combination at a time and a second parameter changing mode in which each of the adjustment parameters is changed individually, wherein when the algorithm selection unit selects one of the first image quality adjustment algorithms, the parameter changing mode setting unit can set both of the first parameter changing mode and the second parameter changing mode, and when the algorithm selection unit selects the second image quality adjustment algorithm, the parameter changing mode setting unit can only set the second parameter changing mode.
