A color imaging apparatus includes a CCD imaging device having interline transfer charge transfer paths adapted for interlaced reading and a Bayer-arranged color filter. The apparatus can be put in either of normal shooting mode and high-sensitivity shooting mode. In the high-sensitivity mode, pixel signals from two pixels arranged in the vertical direction in each photosensitive CCD array are transferred by a corresponding vertical transfer path at two times the rate in the normal mode to a horizontal transfer path where they are added together. A line of pixel signals from the horizontal transfer path is output to a preprocess circuit where pixel signals separated by one pixel in the horizontal direction are added together. This process produces a line of image signal.

A method of broadening a dynamic range is applied to a solid-state image sensor of the type including photodiodes each being divided into a main and a subregion different in photosensitivity from each other. While the quantity of light to be incident on a photodiode is reduced, a signal charge is read out only from the main region of the photodiode. The signal charge is digitized and then written to two image memories. Digital signals thus stored in the image memories are respectively amplified by white balance gain circuits with different gains. The resulting digital signals are combined by an image synthesizer. The method can therefore broaden the dynamic range of the image sensor by using only the main regions of the photodiodes.
