To provide a digital imaging device that reproduces an image, taking into account chromatic adaptation, while reflecting the effect of a desired lighting environment onto the image.

The digital camera that generates object color component data 235 equivalent to data of an image, from which the effect of a lighting environment is eliminated and light component data 236 denoting the effect of the lighting environment onto the image, is provided with a compositing section 205 that composites the object color component data 235 with the lighting component data 236 and a conversion section 206 that applies color conversion to the image data, on the basis of the chromatic adaptation. The conversion section 206 conducts color conversion on the basis of the chromatic adaptation, by using the chromaticity introduced from the lighting component data 236 and data, denoting the lightness of an object from an exposure arithmetic section 204. Furthermore, when a memory card 8 stores the object color component data 235, the data 235 are stored as a single file with exposure data 237.
