Patent attributes
A digital camera includes a solid-state imaging device in which plural pixel columns, each including plural pixels arrayed in a column direction, are arrayed in a row direction. The pixels of each pixel column include upper OBs, lower OBs, and PDs disposed between the upper OBs and the lower OBs. The digital camera includes: a dark current correcting unit that performs dark current correction based on a linear function for correction in order to correct a dark current; an OB average calculating unit that calculates an average of upper OB signals acquired from the upper OBs by imaging and an average of lower OB signals acquired from the lower OBs by the imaging; and a correcting linear function generating unit that generates the linear function for correction based on the average of the upper OB signals, the average of the lower OB signals, and the number of PDs.
