Camera and strobe device

A strobe device, comprising:

• a strobe light source which emits strobe light whose color temperature is adjustable, and is configured with light emitting elements of three colors of R, G and B whose respective light emission amounts can be independently controlled;
• a light emission control device which controls the strobe light source to emit the strobe light in synchronization with shooting;
• a storage device which stores ratios of the light emission amounts of the light emitting elements of the three colors of R, G and B for emitting the strobe light corresponding to each color temperature, for each color temperature at predetermined intervals;
• and
• a color temperature adjustment device which reads a corresponding ratio of the light emission amounts of R, G and B from the storage device depending on the color temperature at which the light emission should be performed, and adjusts the color temperature of the strobe light by controlling the respective light emission amounts of the light emitting elements of the three colors so that the respective light emission amounts of the light emitting elements of the three colors have the read ratio of the light emission amounts of R, G and B,
• wherein the storage device stores the ratio of the light emission amounts of R, G and B with the predetermined intervals varied according to the color temperature.

A camera which shoots a subject and records image data of the shot subject, comprising:

• a strobe light source which emits strobe light whose color temperature is adjustable, and is configured with light emitting elements of three colors of R, G and B whose respective light emission amounts can be independently controlled;
• a light emission control device which controls the strobe light source to emit the strobe light in synchronization with shooting;
• a storage device which stores ratios of the light emission amounts of the light emitting elements of the three colors of R, G and B for emitting the strobe light corresponding to each color temperature, for each color temperature at predetermined intervals;
• and
• a color temperature adjustment device which reads a corresponding ratio of the light emission amounts of R, G and B from the storage device depending on the color temperature at which the light emission should be performed, and adjusts the color temperature of the strobe light by controlling the respective light emission amounts of the light emitting elements of the three colors so that the respective light emission amounts of the light emitting elements of the three colors have the read ratio of the light emission amounts of R, G and B,
• wherein the storage device stores the ratio of the light emission amounts of R, G and B with the predetermined intervals varied according to the color temperature.
