Claim:
1. An image sensor comprising: a row driver configured to perform decoding for a reset operation to reset a row group, a transfer operation to transfer and store charges of the row group and a read operation to read the stored charges of the row group, and to generate a transfer control signal, a reset control signal and a row selecting signal; a pixel array configured to perform the transfer operation on a second row group while the read operation for a first row group is performed in a rolling shutter mode, and configured to receive an optical signal, convert the optical signal to an electrical signal, and output the electrical signal as an image signal, in response to receiving the transfer control signal, the reset control signal and the row selecting signal generated by the row driver; and an analog-to-digital converter configured to perform an analog-to-digital conversion on the image signal output by the pixel array to generate first signals.
