<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an imaging device having an image of shifted pixels, capable of shortening the time for acquiring an image, by shifting a prescribed number of pixels which are to be image-composited. <P>SOLUTION: The imaging device 1 includes an image-shifting means 23, disposed on the image-incident side of and in front of an imaging element 3; a cam ring 25, having a cam surface capable of tilting the image shifting means so that the image-shifting means changes the angle, relative to the image pickup element; a driving means 27 for making the cam ring turn with the center of the cam ring as the axis of revolution; position detecting marks 31 and 32 provided on the cam ring for detecting the reference positions of the cam ring; a mark-detecting means 33 for detecting the position detecting marks; and a control means 9 for controlling reciprocative rotation of the cam ring, wherein after the position of the position detecting mark has been detected by the detecting means, the cam ring is turned to shift the pixels of an object, and obtain a shifted image. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
