ABSTRACT:
There is provided an image pickup device in which an overall output image can be prevented from being affected by an image signal of a mask area. According to the image pickup device, a prescribed area in a pickup image is masked to keep the masked area non-displayed in the output image, and the image signal of the mask area is removed from a detection target for image processing to prevent the image signal of the masked area from affecting the image processing on the overall image, whereby the image processing such as automatic exposure processing, automatic white balance processing, etc can be properly performed and the image quality of the output image can be enhanced.
