When a still image is picked up with an electronic camera utilizing a MOS type solid-state image pickup device, a flashing device is operated under the condition that both an image signal read operation and an electronic shutter operation are not performed, and the MOS type solid-state image pickup device is controlled so that the same exposure time is set to each photoelectric conversion element. Backlight correction can be achieved.
