An image sensor and an image pickup apparatus using the same, of this invention, has switching gates for coupling a plurality of storage/vertical transfer CCD cells together between a plurality of different photodiodes. Between a photodiode engaged in measurement by the photodiode, and a photodiode not engaged in the above measurement, a switching gate among the switching gates couples together the storage/vertical transfer CCD cells corresponding to the respective photodiodes. And signal charges of the photodiode are stored and memorized in the storage CCD cells corresponding thereto, and the storage CCD cells corresponding to the photodiode.
