[0026] see figure 1 , photoelectric conversion elements (photosensitive element pixels or photodetection element pixels) 1 are located in a matrix 10 called a solid-state imaging unit array 10 . This solid-state imaging unit array 10 has columns and rows of photoelectric conversion elements 1 . The columns of the photoelectric conversion elements 1 are respectively located near and connected to the vertical charge transfer CCD 2 . This vertical charge transfer CCD 2 is called a vertical CCD 2 . In each group of photoelectric conversion element columns and vertical CCD 2, the photoelectric conversion elements 1 are connected to successive segments (stages) of vertical CCD 2, respectively. The lower ends of the vertical CCD 2 are respectively connected to successive segments (stages) of the horizontal charge transfer CCD 3 . This horizontal charge transfer CCD 3 is called a horizontal CCD 3 .
[0027] Each photoelectric conversion element 1 generates signal charges in respon...

[0069] Figure 10 A second embodiment of the present invention is shown that is similar to the first embodiment except for design changes described below. Such as Figure 10As shown in , the second embodiment of the present invention includes a variable rectangular prism 81 located between the lens 80 and the solid-state imaging unit array 10 . The lens 80 and the prism 81 are included in an optical system extending in front of the solid-state imaging element array 10 . There is an actuator for changing the vertical angle of the prism 81, ie its effective thickness. When the vertical angle or effective thickness of the prism 81 changes, the center of the optical axis of the optical system moves relative to the solid-state imaging unit array 10 .
[0070] The second embodiment of the present invention further includes a control section 12A instead of the control section 12 (see figure 2 ). The control section 12A drives and controls the actuator to change the center of th...

[0072] Figure 11 A third embodiment is shown that is similar to the first embodiment except for the design described below. Such as Figure 11 As shown in , the third embodiment of the present invention includes a movable translation lens 83 located between the lens 80 and the bracket of the solid-state imaging unit array 10 . The lenses 80 and 83 are included in an optical system extending in front of the solid-state imaging element array 10 . There is an actuator for moving the translation lens 83 in a direction perpendicular to the propagation direction of the input light. When the translation lens 83 moves, the center of the optical axis of the optical system moves relative to the solid-state imaging unit array 10 .
[0073] The third embodiment of the present invention further includes a control section 12B instead of the control section 12 (see figure 2 ). The control section 12B drives and controls the actuator to change the center of the optical axis between pos...
