摘要： An imaging apparatus for sequentially reading photoelectrically converted image information. The apparatus is capable of operating selectively either in a first mode in which a desired portion of the image information is read at a frequency different from the frequency for reading other portions of the image information, followed by a processing to form an effective image, and a second mode in which the desired portion of the image information is read at the same frequency as the frequency for reading other portions of the image information, followed by a processing to form an effective image. At least the clamping timing is changed in accordance with a change-over between the first mode and the second mode.

摘要： An image pickup apparatus includes an image pickup device and a plurality of color filter groups associated with the device. Each of the filter groups has a different transmission characteristic. The pickup device generates an output signal representative of incident radiation. A color separating circuit separates color signals corresponding to the color filter groups from the output generated by the image pickup device. A control device adjusts the level of at least one of the signals separated by the color separation circuit and a dot-sequential signal forming circuit converts the signals, the levels of which are adjusted by the control device into a dot-sequential signal. The dot-sequential signal so formed is the result of separated color signals and benefits from less stringent frequency requirements for various switching, filtering, and gain control elements. Each of the plurality of color filter groups comprises a plurality of filter cells and the cells are repeatingly arranged at a predetermined pitch. The color separation device also includes sample and hold circuits for sampling and holding each of the color signals on the basis of the arrangement of the filter cells.
