An electronic camera of the present invention includes an image pickup
device, a positional data generating section, a memory, and an image
processing section. The image pickup device includes a light-receiving
plane photoelectrically converting a subject image. On the image pickup
device any given partial image area is readable from a maximal image
area. The positional data generating section generates positional data on
the partial image area to the maximal image area. The memory holds a
first edge enhancing filter used for data on the entire image and a
second edge enhancing filter whose filter size is set smaller than that
of the first edge enhancing filter. The image processing section
performs, using the second edge enhancing filter, edge enhancement
processing on data on a partial image extracted from the partial image
area based on the positional data.
