Image signals outputted from a CCD to an image signal processing circuit,
which performs A/D conversion, YC signal processing to convert the image
signals into video signals of NTSC or the like and outputs video signals
after D/A conversion. A microcomputer receives the video signals from the
image signal processing circuit and determines a brightness level of the
video signals. An EEPROM stores a data table showing the relationship
between a correction amount and the brightness level, and the
microcomputer obtains the correction amount from the EEPROM. The
microcomputer corrects the video signals according to the correction
amount before the D/A conversion, and the image signal processing circuit
outputs the corrected video signals to a displaying device controlling
circuit, and a displaying device displays an image.
