Abstract
If an image quality 1 “RAW” at which image data are recorded without undergoing image processing is selected at an electronic camera which is already set for WB bracketing, the electronic camera clears the WB bracketing. In addition, the electronic camera prohibits an operation for setting and clearing the WB bracketing if the current image quality setting is the image quality 1 “RAW”.
Claims12
An electronic camera comprising:
- an image-capturing element that captures a subject image and outputs image data;
- an image processing circuit that executes image processing on the image data output by the image-capturing element;
- a recording circuit that records the image data that have not undergone the image processing or the image data having undergone the image processing into a recording medium;
- a first instruction circuit that issues a first instruction for the image processing circuit and the recording circuit to change a parameter for the image processing in stages and records a plurality of sets of image data obtained through image processing executed by using a plurality of parameters resulting from the change made in stages;
- a second instruction circuit that issues a second instruction for the image processing circuit and the recording circuit to record the image data output from the image-capturing element without executing the image processing;
- and
- a switching circuit that alternatively switches to the first instruction and the second instruction.
