<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an imaging device capable of preventing dead time, an ineffective frame and irregularities in a readout cycle from being caused, when switching an operation mode. <P>SOLUTION: The imaging device where first pixels 310 receiving luminous flux by an optical system and outputting a light-receiving signal are arranged two-dimensionally, and second pixels 313 and 314 receiving luminous flux by the optical system and outputting a light-receiving signal, and differing from the first pixel 310 are arranged in the array of the first pixels 310 includes output circuits 520, 521 and 522 outputting a readout signal, in a fixed cycle for reading out the light-receiving signal, and also selectively outputting the light-receiving signal, based on the readout signal in the cycle corresponding to a predetermined pixel interval in accordance with the kind of the pixel from which the light-receiving signal is read out. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
