    摘要: An image capture device according to the present invention includes: an optical system for producing a subject's image; an imager with multiple photodiodes, which reads an electrical signal representing the intensity of light that has been incident on each photodiode from the photodiode, thereby generating an image signal representing the subject's image; a controller, which acquires sensitivity information by photometry in order to adjust the sensitivity of the imager to light and which selects one of multiple methods for reading the electrical signal from each photodiode according to the sensitivity information acquired; and a driver for driving the imager by the reading method selected. The multiple reading methods include a mixing reading method, by which the electrical signals supplied from the photodiodes are added together and then output.

    摘要: The present invention provides an image capture device that can omit calculating a pulse signal that should otherwise be used to get a flash fired during a flash-ON sequential shooting operation.An image capture device includes: an image capturing section configured to capture a subject's image; a flashing section configured to store electricity and emitting flash light using the electricity; a power supply configured to supply the electricity; and a control section configured to control the supply of the electricity to the flashing section. If the flashing section performs preliminary flashing and main flashing sequentially, the control section supplies no electricity to the flashing section after the preliminary flashing is done and before the main flashing is performed for a first time. But after the main flashing is done for the first time, the control section continues to supply, in an interval before a next main flashing, the electricity to the flashing section until the flashing section recovers a quantity of electricity stored there when the main flashing was performed for the first time.
