Abstract
An illumination device includes a light source constituted with an LED which is a trichromatic (three-wavelength) light source achieving maximum light emission wavelengths in separate wavelength ranges corresponding to the three primary colors of light, blue, green and red. As the shutter is released at an electronic camera set in a portrait photographing mode, the electronic camera transmits a light emission command for the illumination device to illuminate the main subject with illuminating light emitted from the LED. The LED assumes a structure that allows it to emit light at maximum light emission wavelengths matching maximum transmission wavelengths achieved through the spectral transmission characteristics of a color filter disposed at an image-capturing element.
