<p>A CCD image sensor (14) uses sufficiently more pixels than those in an output image. A pixel number conversion block (30) applies pixel number reduction conversion to an image pickup signal from the CCD image sensor (14). This signal is output as a monitor output or motion-picture recording signal via a terminal (43). Converting the multi-pixel image signal to a reduced image can provide an output image with improved sharpness.</p> |
