ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an image pickup device which is capable of easily obtain image pickup control constants in accordance with switching of image pickup modes. The image pickup device, being equipped with an image pickup sensor having the number of pixels allowing a high resolution, employs a synchronizing signal generator and first color processing section in a first image pickup mode for lower resolution. Further, an image pickup control constant is calculated in an image pickup control constant calculating section and held or corrected and held in an image pickup control constant holding/correcting section. In switching to a second image pickup mode, the image pickup device uses a synchronizing signal generator and second color processing section, and employs the held image pickup control constant as an image pickup control constant for the second image pickup mode. This device does not require re-calculation of the image pickup control constant when switching is made from the first image pickup mode to the second image pickup mode, thus allowing immediately taking an image in the second image pickup mode.
