Photoelectric converting apparatus.

摘要

A photoelectric converting apparatus having a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements which can accumulate charges which were photoelectrically converted comprises: at least one of a maximum value detection circuit to detect an accumulation signal of the photoelectric conversion element into which the strongest light enters and a minimum value detection circuit to detect an accumulation signal of the photoelectric conversion element into which the weakest light enters; and a reading circuit to read out the signal(s) which is/are obtained from the maximum valuedetection circuit or/and the minimum value detection circuit through the same reading system as that of the accumulation signals of the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements.
