Image pickup apparatus having different processing rates for still and moving images

摘要

In order to provide an image pickup apparatus and an image pickup recording/reproducing apparatus capable of obtaining high-picture-quality still images and interlaced moving images, when an operational-mode switch sets a still-image mode, a CCD is driven by a driving circuit which outputs a signal having a frequency obtained by dividing the frequency of an output of an oscillator by a 1/2 frequency divider, and three signals shifted by one horizontal period from each other are obtained from a line memory block. When the operational-mode switch sets a moving-image mode, the CCD is driven by the driving circuit which outputs a signal having the frequency of the oscillator, and four signals, capable of being interlaced, shifted by one horizontal period from each other are obtained from the line memory block.
