[0051] figure 1 The configuration of an image sensing device of this embodiment is shown. refer to figure 1 , reference numeral 1 designates a lens for forming an optical image of an object on the solid-state image sensing element 3 . Reference numeral 2 designates an aperture / shutter which has a shutter function and also serves as an aperture for controlling the amount of light passing through the lens 1 . Reference numeral 3 designates a solid-state image sensing element for capturing object light formed by the lens 1 and outputting an electrical signal. The solid-state image sensing element 3 has the Figure 20A with 20B The same structure as the solid-state image sensing element 13 shown in FIG. Reference numeral 4 designates a CDS unit for performing correlated double sampling operations to remove clocks and reduce noise in an electrical signal output from the solid-state image sensing element 3 . Reference numeral 5 designates a clamp circuit for switching a sign...

[0078] The following will refer to Figures 5 to 7 A second embodiment is described. Note that the basic configuration and operation of the image sensing device are the same as those referred to above figure 1 It is the same as that described in 2, so its description will be omitted. In addition, the solid-state image sensing element 3 has the same Figure 20A with 20B The same structure as shown in . Also, since the timing diagram is actually the same as the reference image 3 The content described is the same, the only difference is the OB level of the CDS output (see Image 6 ), so the use of image 3 A detailed description of the timing diagram.

[0089] The following will refer to Figure 8 with 9 A third embodiment of the present invention is described. Note that the basic configuration and operation of the image sensing device are the same as those referred to above figure 1 It is the same as that described in 2, so its description will be omitted. In addition, the solid-state image sensing element 3 has the same Figure 20A with 20B The same structure as shown in . Also, since the timing diagram is actually the same as the reference image 3 The content described is the same, the only difference is the OB level of the CDS output, so the use of image 3 A detailed description of the timing diagram. Also, the timing diagram is actually the same as Image 6 in the same content, the only difference is the use of Image 6 described NMASK, so its description will be omitted.

Abstract

An image sensing device comprising: an image sensing element having a plurality of pixels generating charges corresponding to an amount of input light, and a transmission device for transmitting charge signals generated by the plurality of pixels unit; and a controller adapted to output a control signal causing the transfer unit to perform a first read, and to cause the transfer unit to perform a second read using a transfer speed different from the transfer speed used in the first read wherein the controller outputs the control signal after the image sensing element is exposed for a predetermined time and before the charge signal accumulated on the pixel is transferred to the transfer unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image sensing device, and more particularly, to a process of reading a signal from an image sensing device, a control method thereof, and a program. Background technique [0002] Various image sensing devices are proposed which generally use solid-state image sensing elements such as CCDs. Figure 19 It is used to show the configuration from the solid-state image sensing element to the clamping circuit in a conventional image sensing device. In this type of image sensing device, light emitted from an object and input through a lens is received by a solid-state image sensing element 13, and a signal output from the solid-state image sensing element 13 is input to a CDS unit 14. The CDS unit 14 implements correlated double sampling (hereinafter referred to as CDS) in order to remove the clock and reduce noise. The output signal from the CDS unit 14 is input to a clamping circuit 15, which under the control of a clampi...
