Abstract:
1. An imaging device which outputs a picture image signal at a first frame rate and another picture image signal at a second frame rate which is different from the first frame rate, comprising: a photographic section which photoelectrically converts an image of a subject, and which outputs the picture image signal which consists of frames at the first frame rate; a first frame rate conversion section which converts the picture image signal at the first frame rate which is outputted by the photographic section into the picture image signal at the second frame rate which is smaller than the first frame rate; and a second frame rate conversion section which converts the picture image signal at the first frame rate into a picture image signal at a third frame rate which is smaller than the first frame rate, and which is different from the second frame rate, wherein the first frame rate is the least common multiple of the second frame rate and the third frame rate.
