PURPOSE:To improve color balance and to increase sensitivity, by changing each effective area of color filters provided corresponding to picture elements and controlling each color component output, and adjusting an output signal ratio of each color component. CONSTITUTION:Color filters G, R and B provided at a light incident plane of a solid-state image pickup element are adjusted with the effective areas respectively. That is, an effective area of color filters R, G and B to each picture element 1a of the image pickup element, that is, an area actually transmitting light is variably set. The adjustment of the effective area of the color filters R, G and B allows the output of each chroma component to independently be adjusted. |
