An imaging apparatus has: a white balance control circuit for detecting an achromatic portion of an image of an object and controlling gains of the chrominance; an object distance detecting circuit for detecting a distance to the object; and a zoom value detecting circuit for detecting a zoom value of the optical system. The imaging apparatus further has: an object brightness detecting circuit for detecting brightness of the object; and a white balance control amount adjustment value setting circuit for forming a white balance control amount adjustment value to adjust a control amount in the white balance control circuit on the basis of object brightness information, object distance detection information, and zoom value information, wherein the white balance control amount is adjusted on the basis of the white balance control amount adjustment value.       Recently Added Patents High turning fan exit stator Non-planar semiconductor structure and fabrication method thereof Optical angle-of-arrival measurement system and method for multiple light sources Methods of forming highly scaled semiconductor devices using a disposable spacer technique Cross-lingual initialization of language models LED streetlight circuit Electrolyte composition, method, and improved apparatus for high speed tin-silver electroplating   Randomly Featured Patents Highway line detector Multi-band antenna Toilet paper holder with integrated grab bar Wheel Ring slicer with easily removable knife and knife assembly High modulus multifilament spokes and method Rose plant named Devsolear Influenza infection-inhibiting peptide, influenza virus infection inhibitor, liposome, and influenza preventive/therapeutic agent Tub having structurally strengthened rear wall and washing machine with the same therein Hand loom © 2006-2008 PatentGenius.
