Accurately suppress chromatic aberration arising in a subject image is described. An image signal, which is obtained by a lens and a CCD and pertains to a subject image, is subjected to white balance adjustment performed by a white balance adjustment circuit. The signal is supplied to a color-blurring detection circuit before undergoing gamma correction. The color-blurring detection circuit has a low slice circuit, a high-pass filter, and a high clip circuit; detects an edge portion of a highlight of a G signal constituting the image signal; and supplies the detected edge portion as a color-blurring detection signal to a color-blurring suppressor circuit disposed subsequent to a γ correction circuit. The color-blurring suppressor circuit corrects color-difference signals CB, CR, which have been subjected to gamma correction, by use of the color-blurring detection signal, thereby suppressing the color-blurring having arisen in the edge of a highlight of the image.
