PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent noise from becoming nonuniform with respect to the entire images, in an endoscope apparatus which performs imaging by using a CMOS image sensor or the like.SOLUTION: In the endoscope apparatus including the CMOS image sensor, exposure and light shielding are alternately repeated at the interval of 1/60 second by a rotary shutter. Pixel signals of a subject image generated during an exposure period are read in a line order. Along with that, during a light shielding period, reset signals are outputted prescribed time J after the end of reading the pixel signals on each line. |
