A bipolar CCD signal processing circuit and method in which offset in a non-zero dark level of the CCD signal which is induced by pixel-to-pixel gain adjustment is compensated by applying a proportionate amount of the gain compensation component of the gain signal to the gain-adjusted CCD signal to compensate for the gain-induced offset whereby the dark level of the gain-adjusted CCD signal is substantially restored on a pixel-to-pixel basis to its predetermined non-zero value. When gain-induced offset compensation is employed, the range of any separately applied compensation for pixel-to-pixel offsets, other than those induced by gain compensation, is substantially reduced.
