Abstract
The present invention relates to a photographing device that obtains color image signals of a subject image captured with a taking lens and an imaging device. The photographing device comprises a white light emitting diode (93) that is used as a light source of the photographing device and emits white light, a light emission control device (54) that makes the white light emitting diode emit light by supplying electric energy to the white light emitting diode, and an automatic white balance correcting device that corrects a white balance of the color image signals according to a color temperature of the white light emitted from the white light emitting diode at the light emission of the white light emitting diode.
