PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image pickup device, such as an onboard camera device in which noise is inconspicuous even though gain is increased during low illuminance. SOLUTION: An MTF correction switching control means 105 of a control part 100 transmits a switching signal of MTF correction OFF to a switching circuit 170, during low illuminance, on the basis of an output of an imaging element 100, lighting, etc., of a small lamp and a tail lamp, and information directly or indirectly indicating ambient illuminance. The switching circuit 170 usually sends image data subjected to MTF correction from an MTF correcting part 160 to a distortion aberration correcting part 180 of a poststage, but on receiving a switching signal of MTF correction OFF, sends image data from a chromatic aberration of magnification correcting part 150 as it is to the distortion aberration correcting part 180. The MTF correction switching control means 105 increases gain of an AGC circuit 120 during low illuminance. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
