A method of controlling a solid-state image pickup apparatus with the step of determining the zoom position Z of a lens at the time of picking up an image. If the zoom position Z is above a lower value Z1 but below a higher value Z2, first color difference gain processing is executed. If the zoom position Z is below or equal to Z1, it is determined whether or not the photometric data A of a pixel block A used for divisional photometry is greater than a threshold TH. If the answer of this step is positive, second color gain processing is executed; otherwise, the first processing is executed. On the other hand, if the zoom position Z is above or equal to Z2 and if the photometric data B of a block B is greater than the threshold TH, the second color difference gain processing is executed; otherwise the first processing is executed.
