    摘要: A data region is provided to a non-effective pixel region, which is not used in generating an image, that constitutes a photosensitive surface of a solid-state image sensor. On a micro lens in predetermined pixels of the data region, a black film is selectively formed. Pixels having the black film are recognized as “0”, and other pixels are recognized as “1”. Individual information of the image sensor is stored in the data region, as digital information. The image sensor outputs an imaging signal including the individual information under a predetermined condition. By determining the value of each pixel in the data region based on the imaging signal, the individual information is read. The read individual information is stored to a predetermined memory. In this way, the individual information can be obtained from the solid-state image sensor built into an imaging device, and set to the imaging device.

    摘要: There is provided an illumination apparatus used for imaging a moving picture made up of a plurality of frames, and for irradiating an auxiliary light from a light source constituted by one or a plurality of LEDs onto a photo-object. The one or plurality of LEDs are duty-driven by a duty ratio smaller than 100% during an imaging period (during a period for exposing a CCD) of a frame period. The heat releasing effect and-the light emitting efficiency can be improved as compared to a case where the LEDs are successively turned on during an imaging period. As a result, the light emitting intensity at the time the light emitting diodes are turned on can be heightened with the amount of consumed electricity unchanged, and the light emitting efficiency of the light emitting diodes can be improved.

    摘要: In a camera apparatus of the present invention, a phase difference sensor, which is normally used for automatic focusing operation, is effectively used to detect a flicker of the fluorescent light (S104), and it is judged whether the flicker has been detected or not (S105). When the flicker has been detected, gain No. (3) prepared for the fluorescent light is selected to be set to a gain control circuit at a time of a capture (S106). The infrared light is detected (S107) based on an output used from an infrared light sensor, which is provided for receiving an infrared-light code signal from a remote control unit, and it is judged whether the infrared light has been detected or not (S108) . When the infrared light has been detected, gain No. (4) prepared for the incandescent light is selected to be set to a gain control circuit (S109).
