Claim:
1. An image pickup device comprising: a pixel section in which pixels for generating pixel signals for an image and pixels for generating pixel signals for focus detection are arranged in a matrix shape, the pixel section outputting the generated pixel signals; an image-signal generating section including a storing section that stores, when a plurality of pixels arranged in the matrix shape in the pixel section are divided into unit pixels configured by a plurality of pixels adjacent to one another, each of the unit pixels including at least one image pixel for generating a pixel signal for an image, the pixel signals outputted from the pixel section for at least one row of unit rows configured by arrangement of the unit pixels in a row direction, the image-signal generating section generating, on the basis of the pixel signals stored in the storing section, for each of the unit rows, combined pixel signals obtained by combining the pixel signals related to the unit pixels and phase difference pixel signals for the focus detection extracted from each of the unit rows; and an image-signal readout section that reads out, as signals of one row, the combined pixel signals and the phase difference pixel signals related to one unit row generated by the image-signal generating section.
