Electronic camera capable of having results of previous image pickup processing reflected in current image pickup processing

An electronic camera comprising:

• an imaging part for imaging a subject to produce image data;
• a conditional information determining part for repetitively determining conditional information which is indicative of a condition of the subject;
• a storage part for storing previous conditional information determined by said conditional information determining part;
• and
• a control parameter calculating part for repetitively calculating a control parameter according to both the previous conditional information stored in said storage part and current conditional information determined by said conditional information determining part, the control parameter being used for an exposure control at a time when said imaging part produces the image data;
• and
• an exposure control part for performing the exposure control by use of the control parameter which is calculated immediately before said imaging part produces the image data.

• and
• a correction processing part for performing the correction processing by use of the control parameter calculated immediately before said imaging part produces the image data.
