    Abstract: Provided is an apparatus including: first and second photoelectric converting portions; a charge detecting portion; a transistor outputting a pixel signal first and second sampling and holding capacitors; an amplifier; and a controlling unit controlling gain in first and second mode. The pixel signal is one of: a first signal at time of resetting of charge; a second signal including a charge component of the first photoelectric converting portion and a noise component; and a third signal including the first component, a charge component of the second photoelectric converting portion and a noise component. In the first mode, the controlling unit uses a first gain. In the second mode, the controlling unit uses second gain to the first signal, third gain to the third signal of the first sampling and holding capacitor, and second gain to the third signal of the second sampling and holding capacitor.

    Abstract: An image processing technique that enables accurate detection of a flicker component even when applied to an image pickup device capable of changing a driving method on a region basis within a frame. A flicker detection section detects a flicker component of an image pixel signal read out from the image pickup device having a pixel region for detecting a phase difference. When the driving method is changed to one for performing phase difference detection, the flicker detection section detects a flicker component such that the period of the flicker component in a region used for phase difference detection within the frame coincides with a period of the flicker component in a region not used for phase difference detection.
