PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform white balance control suitable for a light source type by exactly discriminating that light source type. SOLUTION: When a photographing EV value is acquired while pressing a shutter button half (step S10), on the basis of that photographing EV value, whether it is low luminance emission or not is discriminated (step S12). In this case, when the low luminance emission is discriminated, white balance control suitable for stroboscopic light is performed (step S14). When no low luminance emission is discriminated, on the other hand, color information for each area, for which a picture is divided into plural areas, is found and on the basis of color information for each area, the number of areas included in a shade detection frame (frame showing the range of color distribution corresponding to the shade) is found. Then, it is discriminated on the basis of the above mentioned acquired photographing EV value and the number of areas included in the shade detection area whether the light source type is the shade or daylight (step S20) and white balance control suitable for that discriminated light source type is performed (steps S22 and S24).
