SOLUTION: The electronic imaging apparatus is equipped with: an electronic imaging device which converts and outputs an image received by a plurality of pixels having three or more different spectral characteristics for obtaining a color image into an electric signal including information on luminance and color; an imaging optical system which forms a subject image on the imaging surface of the electronic imaging device; a high luminance difference boundary part detection means which detects a boundary part where a luminance difference between the adjacent fixed pixels of the electronic imaging device is equal to or above a fixed level; and a signal processing means which adjusts the electric signal so that color flare caused by chromatic aberration near the boundary part may be decreased. When it is assumed that a minimum pixel pitch is P, a minimum F value is Fmin, the absolute value of the spherical aberration amount of a marginal light beam whose wavelength is 404.7 nm at the minimum F value is Lh, and the absolute value of the spherical aberration amount of a marginal light beam whose wavelength is 587.56 nm at the minimum F value is Ld, they satisfy an expression (1): (Lh-Ld)/Fmin≥2P.
