<p>A digital camera includes a CCD imager (14). A raw image signal of an object picked up by the CCD imager (14) is temporarily stored in an SDRAM (26). The raw image signal stored in the SDRAM (26) is repeatedly read out by a memory control circuit (24). A signal processing circuit (28) performs a signal processing of each of the raw image signals which have been read out and creates a plurality of YUV signals of high resolution. During the signal processing, a white balance adjustment is performed. The gain for the white balance adjustment differs from one raw image signal to another. For this, the high-resolution YUV signals have different image qualities from one another. A JPEG codec (34) compresses each of the plurality of high-resolution YUV signals so as to create a plurality of compressed image signals. A CPU (40) records the created compressed image signals in a recording medium (36).</p> |
