Abstract

When a photographing format is unable to be detected, the image processing method preliminarily calculates and then stores the image processing conditions of the image of interest corresponding to all of the photographing formats, determines the photographing format of the image of interest while the image of interest is being represented on a monitor, and thereafter, represents on the monitor again the image subjected to image processing under the image processing conditions corresponding to the thus determined photographing format selected from among the preliminary stored image processing conditions of the image of interest corresponding to all of the photographing formats. The image processing method is capable of efficiently performing image processing under image processing conditions corresponding to a correct photographing format, even when detection of the photographing format resulted in failure.
