A camera CPU internally provided at a digital still camera determines an exposure time based upon an image signal input from a CCD via a control circuit. The camera CPU also implements preliminary photographing which is accompanied by light emission by an electronic flash unit, obtains a light emission quantity at the electronic flash unit for main photographing based upon the results of preliminary photographing and determines the flash time using the light emission quantity. If the flash time is longer than the exposure time, the camera CPU reduces the length of flash time. The camera CPU calculates the quantity of underexposure occurring as a result of the exposure ending before the illumination by the electronic flash unit is completed. An image processing circuit engages in color correction by incorporating the quantity of underexposure that has been calculated in advance when it processes image data obtained through an imaging operation.
