Claim 1:
2. The pixel cell according to claim 1, wherein the readout circuit is further configured, in the global shutter mode of operation, to
generate a global shutter output signal depending on the corresponding charges from the photodiode of each of the plurality of pixels, in particular depending on a sum or an average of said corresponding charges from the photodiode (PD1-PD4) of each of the plurality of pixels; and
transfer the global shutter output signal to the column output line in accordance with a global shutter control signal transmitted to the first switch; and
is configured, in the rolling shutter mode of operation, to
generate individual rolling shutter output signals, with each rolling shutter output signal depending on the corresponding charges from the photodiode of one of the plurality of pixels; and
transfer the individual rolling shutter output signal to the column output line or to the further column output line in accordance with a rolling shutter control signal transmitted to the second switch.
