ABSTRACT:
The digital camera1, when a length-direction range expanding button14or a breadth-direction range expanding button15is operated, changes the length-direction and breadth-direction image pickup effective ranges of a solid state image pickup device40using an image pickup effective range setting table41. Due to this, there can be obtained picked-up images with a length-to-breadth ratio changed without rotating the main body of the digital camera1. Also, since the length-direction and breadth-direction image pickup effective ranges are adjusted such that the area of the image pickup effective ranges of the solid state image pickup device40can provide a substantially constant value, there can be always obtained an image of good quality.
