摘要： In order to reduce the frame rate, when all photodiodes contributing to output of a video signal in a CMOS image sensor must be simultaneously exposed (at the timing of strobe flashing Δts), as in a case where strobe is flashed, readout pixels composing the CMOS type image sensor are thinned such that the number of photodiodes contributing to the video signal outputted from the CMOS type image sensor is reduced. A time period Δtp2 required for processing (of the video signal caused by a row of photodiodes) in an analog processing circuit connected to the succeeding stage of the CMOS type image sensor is shortened, thereby reducing the frame rate.

摘要： An imaging apparatus has an imaging device, which photo-electrically converts an optical image every pixel, and scans the image using X-Y address to acquire an image signal. A read controller generates a read pulse for selecting a pixel in a row or column direction and successively performing a read operation in accordance with the image signal acquired via the imaging device to scan the read pulse. The read controller scans a reset pulse for resetting photo-electrical conversion information recorded in read each row imaging device prior to read pulse scanning for carrying out read of the selected predetermined row.

摘要： In an imaging device of the present invention, an imaging element 2 is driven in a thinning read-out mode for reading out signal charges from a subset of pixels, or in an all-pixels read-out mode for reading out signal charges from all pixels. When the imaging element 2 is driven in the thinning read-out mode, the imaging device processes and records a series of first image data that is obtained by reading out signal charges from the subset of pixels and that constitutes the moving images. When the imaging element 2 is driven in the all-pixels read-out mode, the imaging device processes and records a series of second image data constituting moving images after the number of pixels of the second image data is thinned, and processes and records a portion of the second image data as a still image without thinning when an instruction to pick up the still image is given while picking up the moving images.
