This invention has as its object to eliminate sensitivity nonuniformity on the
plane of an image sensing element irrespective of exchange of a lens. To achieve
this object, in an image sensing apparatus which has an image sensing element and
can exchange a lens, a memory stores shading correction coefficients respectively
corresponding to pixels in a two-dimensional matrix on the plane of the image sensing
element, and a correction device makes a correction calculation of pixel data read
out from each pixel of the image sensing element by extracting the shading correction
coefficient associated with the corresponding pixel from those stored in the memory.
