PURPOSE:To correct color mis-registration inexpensively with high accuracy by switching sequentially plural color filters so as to correct a position deviation between consecutive picture signals among picture signals of each color picked up in response to the result of detection. CONSTITUTION:A picture picked up from an object by an image pickup optical system is given to a rotary color filter 2, R, G, B filters are sequentially selected and a charge modulation element CMD 3 converts the picture into an electric signal. A control section 7 controls the entire section, the signal is amplified by a preamplifier 4, converted by an A/D converter 5, the resulting signal is sequentially switched by a selector 6, and stored in each frame memory 37. Simultaneously, an interpolation coefficient calculation circuit 35 detects a position deviation in existence between consecutive picture signals and the result is outputted to each interpolation circuit 38. Each circuit 38 applies interpolation arithmetic operation to the coefficient and the data of the memory 37 and a data selector 39 is used to correct the position deviation. Thus, color mis-registration is corrected inexpensively with high accuracy.
