An electronic camera is provided with a touchscreen. When a cameraman touches
the touchscreen on a principal subject in a captured image shown on the touchscreen,
the touched portion is determined and the focus and exposure are adjusted in conformity
with the principal subject. When the image is designated to be stored, positional
information on the principal subject as well as image information is stored into
a built-in memory or a detachable external memory. For this reason, wherever the
principal subject is located on the image, the image-capturing is performed with
favorable results. The positional information on the principal subject is utilized
for printing or reproducing the image so as to perform image tone corrections such
as correction of brightness and skin pigmentation in an area including the principal
subject, so that a high-quality image can be printed or reproduced.
