<p>A color image pickup device is provided for controlling an exposure so that the main objects keeps its brightness proper independently of the background brightness, for producing an imaging output having excellent image quality secured therein. An integrator 62C integrates and detects the imaging output level of a specific luminance level area inside of the imaged screen, the area specified by an area generated 63C, based on a color imaging output signal produced by a color image pickup unit provided with light quantity control means. The integrator 62D integrates and detects the imaging output level of a skin tone area inside of the imaged screen specified by an area generator 63D based on the color imaging output signal. Then, a iris controller 65 provides an iris control unit 60 for controlling the light quantity control means of the color image pickup unit based on each of the detected outputs. <IMAGE></p> |
