ELECTRONIC STILL CAMERA WITH FEEDBACK CONTROL

In an electronic still camera in which the photoelectric conversion time, the photoelectric conversion output gain and the white balance setting are adjusted based on the previous photoelectric conversion output, flash light is emitted to assist distance measurement and pre-emission is performed for red eye reduction in flash photographing; the photoelectric conversion output is not used for the adjustment of the photoelectric conversion time, the photoelectric conversion output gain and the white balance setting or photoelectric conversion is not performed while the auxiliary light is being emitted. Alternatively, the auxiliary light is not emitted while photoelectric conversion is being performed.
