PURPOSE:To supply a stable image signal by a simple circuit by converting a photoelectric conversion signal for a reference white part into a digital signal and allowing a control part to perform arithmetic, a level decision, and control the gain of a variable gain amplifier. CONSTITUTION:One-line reference white data is sampled at intervals of (m) picture elements and evaluated on the basis of representative values. In this example, the data is digitized into a 6-bit signal and no overflow bit is provided, so 63 picture elements are counted and substituted in N. When a video signal is small, N=0, so the gain G is increased. In this case, the G is 0-15. When the video signal is too large, on the other hand, N>0, so the gain G is decreased. Thus, the gain is varied and then reference white data is inputted again. A flag FLG is for prevention against oscillation. Thus, 16 levels of gains are selected linearly.
