An image pickup unit includes: an image pickup device outputting an image signal based on incident object light; a dimming device adjusting a light amount of object light incident to the image pickup device; a color correction section adjusting color balance of the image signal; and a control section controlling the color correction section to be switched from one of a first adjustment mode and a second adjustment mode to the other, the first adjustment mode automatically adjusting the color balance following variations in color temperature of a light source, the second adjustment mode adjusting the color balance without following variations in color temperature of the light source. The control section controls a light amount adjustment value by the dimming device at a fixed value, when the color correction section is switched to the second adjustment mode.
