摘要

An image capturing apparatus includes an image sensor configured to operate in a line-sequential manner and a shutter device operatively coupled to the image sensor. The shutter device includes regions configured to switch between substantially open states and substantially closed states such that after a first exposure for a first frame is finished, a second exposure for a second frame is started.

1. An image capturing apparatus comprising:
an image sensor configured to operate in a line-sequential manner; and a shutter device operatively coupled to the image sensor, the shutter device including regions configured to switch between substantially open states and substantially closed states such that after a first exposure for a first frame is finished, a second exposure for a second frame is started, wherein the shutter device includes a liquid crystal shutter which includes the regions; and wherein: (a) a first response from a first open state to a first closed state is delayed for a first amount of time; and (b) a second response from the first closed state to the first open state is delayed for a second amount of time, the second amount of time being greater than the first amount of time.
