SOLID-STATE IMAGING DEVICE, IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS WITH THE SAME, AND METHOD FOR DRIVING THE SOLID-STATE IMAGING DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve high image quality and improve frame rate. SOLUTION: In a solid-state imaging device, when photographing is performed at a field angle having unused image regions in a horizontal pixel direction, output of electronic shutter pulseΦSUB or vertical transfer pulse (ΦV1-ΦV4) is performed in an output position of horizontal transfer pulseΦH corresponding to unused image regions, thereby improving the frame rate.
