1. An electronic device comprising:
a display; and
a capture unit arranged on a side opposite a displaying surface of the display,
wherein the capture unit includes:
a plurality of photoelectric-conversion units that converts light that has been made to enter through the display into electricity;
a plurality of polarization elements arranged on a light entering side of at least one photoelectric-conversion unit of the plurality of photoelectric-conversion units; and
a controller configured to
correct a captured image that has been converted from light into electricity by the plurality of photoelectric-conversion units, on a basis of polarization information that has been polarized by the plurality of polarization elements and has been converted from light into electricity, and
estimate display luminance of the display, wherein
correcting the captured image includes controlling a correction amount of the captured image that has been converted from light into electricity by the plurality of photoelectric-conversion units, according to the estimated display luminance of the display.
