摘要:
An imaging system (90, 490, 590, 690) includes an image sensor (100, 400, 500, 600) and a mechanical shutter (93) which controls the termination of exposure of the image sensor. The image sensor includes a pixel array (PA) in which a plurality of pixels are arrayed in a matrix, and a vertical scanning unit (220, 420, 520, 620) which scans the pixel array for each row. The vertical scanning unit parallelly executes some of the reset operations of pixels on at least two adjacent rows of the pixel array. The charge accumulation operation of pixels starts upon completion of the reset operation and terminates in response to light shielding by the mechanical shutter.
