Claim 12:
13. The method defined in claim 11, wherein controlling at least some transistors of the optically shielded image sensor pixels using the first control scheme to generate the first set of black level signals comprises controlling a first transistor of each optically shielded image sensor pixel in a first set of the optically shielded image sensor pixels to be in the first state to generate the first set of black level signals, and controlling at least some transistors of the optically shielded image sensor pixels using the second control scheme to generate the second set of black level signals comprises controlling a second transistor of each optically shielded image sensor pixel in a second set of the optically shielded image sensor pixels to be in the second state to generate the second set of black level signals.
