IMAGE PICKUP DEVICE, PHOTOGRAPHING IMAGE GENERATION METHOD, PROGRAM AND STORAGE MEDIUM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To fetch correction data for suppressing a release time lag and correcting an output difference of a plurality of image signals outputted from a plurality of image pickup areas respectively in the case of generating photographing images by compositing a plurality of image signals outputted from a plurality of image pickup areas respectively. SOLUTION: By pressing a release switch (SW1) for starting a photographing preparation operation, a calibration processing is started and the calibration processing is repeated during photographing operation preparation. By pressing a release switch (SW2) for starting a photographing sequence, the calibration processing is stopped and the photographing sequence is started. During the calibration processing, the photographing sequence is not started even when the release SW2 is pressed until data fetch is ended at least once.
