According to a quadruplex CCD (34) of the present invention, an AGC-M0 circuit (130) which is connected to an output terminal OS1 operates to make an electric current of a predetermined value flow into a differential amplifying circuit (131) with use of the differential amplifying circuit, a terminal-based detection circuit (131), the other differential amplifying circuit (133), a comparison circuit (134), a reference control value (135), a reference current generating circuit (136), and a voltage holding circuit (137). The comparison result obtained by the comparison circuit is output to the AGC-S1, AGC-S2, and the AGC-S3 circuits (140, 150, 160), as a reference value of the AGC circuits. With use of the reference control value obtained in this manner, the difference in image density of the image obtained by the quadruplex CCD (34) is corrected by the AGC-S1 circuit (140) connected to an output terminal OS2, the AGC-S2 circuit (150) connected to an output terminal OS3, and the AGC-S3 circuit (160) connected to an output terminal OS4. <IMAGE> |
