Abstract: The imaging device of the present invention includes an image generator that generates an electric image from optical information inputted thereto; an operation portion that receives an instruction for a shooting preparation operation or a shooting operation from a user; a scene discriminator that discriminates a shooting scene on the basis of the image generated by the image generator and a picture quality adjuster that adjusts the picture quality of the image generated by the image generator on the basis of a result of discrimination performed by the scene discriminator. Due to this configuration, it is possible to discriminate an optimum shooting scene on the basis of an image to be captured, and consequently the operability can be improved.

Abstract: The present invention provides an image capture device that can fine-tune the colors so that the image captured has appropriate colors. A digital camera 100 according to the present invention includes: a CCD image sensor 120 for capturing a subject image and generating image information; a light source estimating section 182 for calculating a white balance control value in order to adjust the white balance of the image information; a WB control section 183 for adjusting the white balance of the image information in accordance with the white balance control value; and a color tuning section 184 for changing a color corresponding to the white balance control value of the image information of which the white balance has been adjusted.
