Color temperature control by comparing chrominance signals with reference levels

Abstract

A color temperature information forming device has converting means of a plurality of kinds arranged to obtain chrominance signals of a plurality of different kinds by photoelectric converting rays of light of different wave length zones included in an incident light and to accumultate and produce the plurality of chrominance signals. The device detects the level of at least one kind of the chrominance signal among the chrominance signals of the plurality of kinds produced from the plurality of converting means and forms color component information according to the detected level.
