    Abstract: An endoscope apparatus includes a light emitting element, an image pickup device of a rolling shutter scheme, and a control section. The control section performs control for switching between a first illumination mode for irradiating light on a subject in a readout period in which readout of an electric signal is performed in order for each of lines in the image pickup device and a second illumination mode for not irradiating light on the subject in the readout period. The control section controls the image pickup device to perform electronic shutter processing in all-line exposure period in which exposure of a plurality of lines is simultaneously performed in a frame corresponding to timing when one of the first illumination mode and the second illumination mode is switched to the other illumination mode.

    Abstract: A light source device includes a semiconductor light source that radiates light at a light quantity according to an applied current, a circuit that determines a current instruction value based on control information, first and second drive units, each of the units that is connected to the semiconductor light source and the circuit, and is capable of outputting, to the semiconductor light source, a current having magnitude corresponding to the current instruction value. The control information is set based on brightness of an image captured by an imaging element. When one of the first and second drive units is switched to the other, the circuit causes the other to start the current output after an elapse of a predetermined stop time period having a length at a predetermined ratio or less to a frame rate on the imaging element since a stop of the current output from the one.

    Abstract: A processor includes: a table configured to retain first control parameter information for controlling operations of a light source section; a reading circuit configured to read information stored in a memory from an endoscope including the memory that is capable of storing second control parameter information for controlling the operations of the light source section or the like; and a determination circuit configured to determine whether or not the reading circuit can read the second control parameter information. When it is determined that the second control parameter information can be read, the second control parameter information read by the reading circuit is outputted. When it is determined that the second control parameter information cannot be read, the first control parameter information retained by the table is outputted.

    Abstract: An endoscope apparatus includes: a first semiconductor light-emitting element; a light source drive section; a first detection section; a storage section configured to store a threshold value indicating whether or not the first detection section can correctly detect an intensity; and a control section configured to, if the intensity detected by the first detection section exceeds the threshold value stored in the storage section, control the current value of the drive signal based on the intensity detected by the first detection section, for the light source drive section, and if the intensity detected by the first detection section does not exceed the threshold value, perform control so as to make the current value of the drive signal constant to provide pulsed light emission and change a duty cycle or a number of pulses to perform light adjustment, for the light source drive section.
