Color image sensing apparatus having color balance adjustment

摘要

A color sensing apparatus includes an image sensor which is arranged to produce a plurality of chrominance signals by converting light from an object into an electrical signal; a light source color detecting circuit which is arranged to detect a color of light from a light source; a flash device; a flash light quantity detecting circuit having a flash light detecting part which is arranged to detect the quantity of flash light of the flash device; and a control circuit which is arranged to control the color balance of the chrominance signals on the basis of a detection output of the flash light quantity detecting circuit and that of the light source color detecting circuit.
