Abstract:

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the color image pickup device that reduces production of a false color at input of an image with high luminance and whose saturation is not changed to a low saturation without losing a dynamic range of a color signal even in the case of photographing an object at which only a color signal receiving clip processing is generated.
