A flavor of smoke generated by combustion, incomplete combustion, or thermal decomposition of a plant material may be improved by heating the smoke with a secondary heater. In particular, a dried smoked fish may be produced by drying boiled fish by a hot blast for a predetermined time so as to reduce a water content thereof to 30% or less by mass, and keeping the dried fish under an atmosphere of the smoke with the improved flavor. The temperature of hot blast is preferably decreased from 120° C. or higher at the initial drying step, to lower than 120° C. at the final drying step. According to this method, a favorable flavor is imparted to the food, and toxic ingredients such as benzopyrene are reduced.

A solid-state image sensor includes photo-sensitive cells arranged in a bidimensional array for converting incident light to corresponding signal charges. Vertical transfer paths transfer the signal charges read out from the photo-sensitive cells in the vertical direction. The photo-sensitive cells are made up of first and second photo-sensitive cells each having particular sensitivity to incident light. The first and second photo-sensitive cells are positioned at one diagonal corners and the other diagonal corners, respectively, at opposite sides of each vertical transfer path such that the first and second photo-sensitive cells have photo-sensitive areas whose centers of gravity form a rectangle when connected by a virtual line.

During a first horizontal blanking period, signal charges on a first row are transferred from a vertical transfer channel to a line memory. During a second horizontal blanking period, the transferred signal charges are partly transferred from the line memory to a horizontal transfer channel. During a third horizontal blanking period, the remaining signal charges on the first row are transferred from the line memory to the horizontal transfer channel. Thereafter, the signal charges on the second row next to the first row are transferred from the vertical transfer channel to a line memory that is vacant.

In a solid-state image pickup apparatus, an image pickup section includes a color separating section having color filters assigned to three primary colors for separating colors of light incident from a desired scene. The color filters assigned to the color G are arranged in stripes. A system controller controls an output of a drive signal generating section for each of an all pixel read mode and a photometry control mode in response to the stroke of a shutter release operation. In the photometry control mode, the image pickup device is supplied with drive signals in response to a horizontal timing signal fed from a timing signal generator and a control signal fed from the system controller. The image pickup device thus reads out only the signal charges representative of the color G in this mode, thereby especially implementing the signal charge reading at a doubled speed.
