An endoscope apparatus is arranged to convert the image signal output from an imaging device into a standard video signal, effect image processing, such as outline emphasis, of the image signal, and display a reproduced image on a display. The endoscope apparatus has the function of stopping input to a memory circuit in accordance with the on action of a freezing switch, switching from a moving image to a still image, and providing a display of the still image. Accordingly, it is possible to select appropriate image processing characteristics in accordance with whether a moving image or a still image is to be displayed. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide an electronic endoscope apparatus which is capable of effecting image processing appropriate for each of a moving image and a still image.
It is another object of the present invention to provide an electronic endoscope apparatus which can provide an endoscopic image suitable for use in diagnosis.
To these ends, in accordance with the present invention, there is provided an electronic endoscope apparatus which comprises image-quality correcting device for effecting an appropriate amount of image correction in accordance with each of a moving image and a still image and a switching device for causing the image-quality correcting device to selectively effect image correction of each of a moving image and a still image.
With this arrangement, it is possible for an observer to obtain an image which is processed through visually optimum image correction whichever the observer may choose, a moving image or a still image.
Accordingly, he can make a diagnosis, examination or the like even more accurately and rapidly .
