<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent deterioration in image quality due to occurrence of moire caused by reduction in sampling frequency in a thinning reading capable of high-speed reading. <P>SOLUTION: A plurality of pixels including a photoelectric conversion element for photoelectrically converting a subject image are arrayed in a matrix shape. Each pixel row has a plurality of vertical output lines. The same color adjacent pixels in the same pixel row are connected to the different vertical output lines, respectively, and at least two or more vertical output lines in the same pixel row are arranged so as to be output to the same sides of the upper and lower parts of a screen. In an imaging mode for reading a part of a plurality of pixels, signals of the same color adjacent pixels are simultaneously read out to respective storage capacities, and at least two storage capacities in a same pixel row are once short-circuited. Further, storage capacities of the plurality of pixel rows are once short-circuited to perform operation for adding and averaging the pixels in vertical and horizontal directions. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT</p> |
