Abstract: A digital still camera has a CCD image sensor, and picks up an image to produce an image signal. Colorimetric sensors have a sensor outer surface oriented in a measuring direction being different from a direction of an optical axis of the CCD image sensor, and colorimetrically measure ambient light. Lighting color temperature of the ambient light is determined according to a result of colorimetry. Image color temperature of the image is retrieved according to the image signal. A gain for each of color components is determined according to the lighting color temperature and the image color temperature. The color components of the image signal are amplified with the gain, to adjust white balance. Also, a camera body accommodates the CCD image sensor and the colorimetric sensors. The sensor outer surface is positioned on at least one of an upper surface and a lateral surface of the camera body.
