An electronic endoscope has a video-scope with an image sensor, and a signal processor that generates digital component video signals from image-pixel signals that are read from the image sensor. The electronic endoscope has, further, a color-reverse detector that determines whether a color-reverse occurs in the digital component video signals, and a color correcting processor that changes color signal data associated with the color-reverse so as to correct the color-reverse when the color-reverse occurs.
