Abstract: An image capture method includes performing light metering with respect to a subject in response to a first control signal, setting an ISO value and a shutter speed value based on result of the light metering, increasing the ISO value by a first amount and decreasing the shutter speed value by a second amount in response to a second control signal to capture a plurality of images, where the second amount is greater than the first amount, performing gamma correction with respect to the plurality of images to increase brightness of each image, and synthesizing the plurality of gamma corrected images to obtain a single image with improved brightness.

Abstract: A digital camera includes a color shading area detecting unit that detects color shading areas from an entire area of a screen, and a white balance (WB) gain calculating unit that calculates WB gains from available screen areas remaining after excluding the detected color shading areas. According to a method of controlling the digital camera, WB adjustment is performed by excluding a color shading effect and thus a white balanced image may be generated.
