A CCD sensor has a photosensitive section, a transfer section, and an output section. The photosensitive section is split up into three regions (front, middle, and rear). When it is necessary to output the middle region and it is not necessary to output the front and rear regions, a method may be implemented so that the rear region is not output through the output section. The data from the photosensitive section is transferred to the transfer section in parallel and in synchronization with a shift pulse. The period of a transfer pulse is changed with respect to the shift pulse so that only the data corresponding to the front and middle regions is serially output from the transfer section. New data is then transferred from the photosensitive section to the transfer section in a manner such that the data corresponding to the new front region overlaps with the data corresponding to the first rear region.
