In a shooting operation of a digital camera including a MOS-type solid-state image pickup device to produce a still picture, a predetermined electronic shutter operation is interrupted to conduct a reset operation for all photoelectric converter elements at a time, a strobe device is operated after the reset operation, a light shielding device is then operated for a predetermined period of time, and an image signal readout operation is conducted during the operation of the light shielding device to obtain still picture data. Even if a shooting object is moving at a high speed, a still picture undergone backlight correction can be obtained without any blur.
