Abstract:
An image pickup apparatus uses an image pickup device. A manual focus adjusting unit is configured to control a focus lens in response to a user's input operation. An edge detecting unit is configured to detect edge components from an image signal obtained by the image pickup device and to output detection levels of the detected edge components. A color signal replacement unit is configured to replace a signal of a pixel corresponding to the detection level with a predetermined color signal when the detection level satisfies a predetermined condition. A display unit is configured to display an image based on an output image signal from the color signal replacement unit.

Claim (Index 1):
An image pickup apparatus using a solid image pickup device, comprising:\n manual focus adjusting means for controlling the position of a focus lens in response to a user's input operation; edge detecting means for detecting edge components of each pixel from an image signal obtained by image pickup and for outputting detection levels of the detected edge components; color signal replacement means for replacing a signal of a pixel corresponding to the detection level or signals of pixels in a predetermined range containing the corresponding pixel on the image signal with a predetermined color signal when the detection level is equal to or higher than a predetermined value; and display means for displaying an image based on an output image signal from the color signal replacement means.
