Disclosed is an
image sensing apparatus comprising a plurality of two-dimensionally arrayed pixels each having a
photodiode and a floating depletion area for temporarily storing a charge
signal that has accumulated in the
photodiode; an output unit that outputs the charge
signal, which has been transferred to the floating depletion area, successively pixel by pixel; a scanning unit having a reset mode for resetting the photodiodes and floating depletion areas successively by prescribed unit, a first
transfer mode for transferring the charge
signal, which has accumulated in the photodiodes, to the floating depletion areas successively by the prescribed unit at prescribed time intervals upon lapse of a prescribed period of time from start of reset, and a second
transfer mode for transferring the charge signal, which has been transferred to the floating depletion areas, to the output unit. Before operation of the second
transfer mode is performed with respect to a plurality of the prescribed units, the scanning unit transfers the charge signal, which has accumulated in the photodiodes, to the floating depletion areas successively by the prescribed unit at the prescribed time intervals with respect to the
