IMAGE SENSOR, IMAGE SENSOR OPERATION METHOD, AND IMAGING APPARATUS

摘要

There is provided an image sensor including an imaging element that generates a pixel signal through photoelectric conversion with a variable exposure time; and an accumulation unit that accumulates the pixel signal generated by the imaging element, in which the imaging element repeatedly generates the pixel signal through the photoelectric conversion for each of the divided exposure time periods obtained by dividing a necessary exposure time which is necessary for imaging an image into multiple time periods, and the accumulation unit accumulates the pixel signal generated by the imaging element and outputs the pixel signal accumulated in the necessary exposure time.
