1. An image pickup apparatus comprising:
- a control unit for relating first coded data provided by coding first image data to first extraction data which is extracted from and concerns color components of the first image data, to record the first coded data and the first extraction data in a recording unit, and for relating second coded data provided by coding second image data to second extraction data which is extracted from and concerns color components of the second image data, to record the second coded data and the second extraction data in the recording unit;
a selection unit arranged to be operated by a user to select one of the first extraction data and the second extraction data, recorded in the recording unit by said control unit; and
a correction unit for effecting color correction of third image data on the basis of the one of the first extraction data and the second extraction data, selected in accordance with the operation of said selection unit,wherein the first image data, the second image data and the third image data are provided by picking up an object with an image pickup element at different timings, respectively.

Abstract
An image pickup apparatus which can improve convenience of white sheet data used for correcting the color of a picked-up image. Each image pickup data is converted into a file by an image filing unit and recorded by a medium-recording unit. Average value data of each color component data for part of the picked-up data is stored in an area different from the image pickup data recording area in each file.

6. An image pickup apparatus comprising:
-
a memory for storing as white data first image data obtained from an image pickup element, wherein said memory stores a plurality of first image data as white balance data; a control unit for converting second image data from the image pickup element into a file and storing the first image data stored in said memory into an area different from that of the second image data in the image data file; a display unit adapted to display the first and second image data; a switching member for switching the first image data to be displayed on said display unit; and a determination member for determining the first image data to be displayed on said display unit as image data for adjusting a white balance of the second image data. - View Dependent Claims (7)

8. An image pickup apparatus comprising:
-
a control unit for relating first coded data provided by coding first image data to first extraction data extracted from the first image data, to record the first coded data and the first extraction data in a recording unit, and for relating second coded data provided by coding second image data to second extraction data extracted from the second image data, to record the second coded data and the second extraction data in the recording unit; a selection unit arranged to be operated by a user to select one of the first extraction data and the second extraction data, recorded in the recording unit by said control unit; and a correction unit for effecting color correction of third image data on the basis of the one of the first extraction data and the second extraction data, selected in accordance with the operation of said selection unit, wherein the first image data, the second image data and the third image data are provided by picking up an object with an image pickup element at different timings, respectively, and wherein the first extraction data is image data of a portion of the first image data and the second extraction data is image data of a portion of the second image data, and wherein said correction unit calculates a control value of the white balance adjustment from the selected one of the first extraction data and the second extraction data and effects the color correction of the third image data on the basis of the calculated control value.
