SOLID STATE IMAGE PICKUP DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DRIVING SOLID STATE IMAGE PICKUP DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve crosstalk when per-pixel signals from a solid state image pickup element are read out for multiple channels at the same time.SOLUTION: Signals read out from pixels arranged in a solid state image pickup element are outputted by a plurality of output units, and signals outputted from the plurality of output units are sampled by a plurality of sampling units provided for each of the output units. At this time, the sampling timing with which the signals are sampled by the sampling units or the output characteristic with which the signals read out from the pixels are outputted by the output units is varied by the plurality of sampling units or the plurality of output units.
