<p>A digital camera comprises a photometric part that divides a subject field into a plurality of areas for photometric measurement; a reference value calculating part that calculates, based on a photometric result by the photometric part, a first reference value, which is used to decide an exposure condition during an image pickup, and also calculates a second reference value that is different from the first reference value and that is used to set a gray scale conversion characteristic to be used for implementing a gray scale correction of the image picked up based on the photometric result; an exposure condition deciding part that decides, based on the first reference value, the exposure condition during the image pickup; a gray scale conversion characteristic setting part that sets, based on the second reference value, the gray scale conversion characteristic; and an image processing part that subjects the image, which is captured, based on the exposure condition, by the image pickup part, to an image processing including a gray scale conversion using the gray scale conversion characteristic.</p> |
