摘要： An image pickup apparatus includes an image pickup device including plural imaging planes each having different dark current characteristics, each of the imaging planes having an effective image area and an corresponding optical black (OPB) area. The image pickup apparatus also includes a memory that stores a dark current data table including difference data between dark current values pre-measured at upper and lower areas of the effective image area of each of the imaging planes and dark current values pre-measured at corresponding upper and lower areas of the OPB area. The image pickup apparatus further includes an image processing unit to calculate estimate dark current values for the effective image area based on the dark current data table and actual dark current values measured in the OPB area for each of the imaging planes, and eliminates the dark current components for the effective imaging areas.

摘要： There is provided a driving apparatus which includes an acquisition section which acquires a parameter for driving an imaging element, which receives an optical image from a subject and outputs an imaging image as an electric signal, in an action mode which is desired by a user; a timing generation section which generates respective timings of the starting of each of a plurality of horizontal synchronization periods, where horizontal synchronization periods which are only different in terms of the number of clocks determined in advance are acquired in a mixed state, based on the parameter; and a driving control section which receives the optical image from the subject for each line which configures the imaging element by synchronizing the respective timings which are generated using the timing generation section.

摘要： The present invention is intended to let users easily and properly select desired imaging modes. A control section controls an image processing section to display icons indicative of imaging modes onto a monitor. When an icon is specified, the control section reads setting values corresponding to the imaging mode corresponding to the specified icon from a setting value storage section. The control section controls the image processing section to generate a reference image based on the read setting values and displays the generated reference image on the monitor. Namely, specifying an icon allows the user to look up a reference image which would have been obtained if a scene appearing on a stored image already taken were imaged in a specified imaging mode. This novel configuration allows the user to easily and properly confirm the effects of a selected imaging mode.
