Abstract:
1. A photographing apparatus having a function of preventing a blur of a still image, the apparatus comprising: a photoelectric transduction unit for photoelectrical-transducing incident light from a lens; a pulse generation unit for outputting a charge extract pulse for extracting charge accumulated in the photoelectric transduction unit, and an erase pulse for erasing the accumulated charge; a diaphragm unit for controlling an amount of light incident on the photoelectric transduction unit; a diaphragm driving unit for controlling an open/close operation of the diaphragm unit; and a control unit for outputting, to the diaphragm driving unit, a first control signal to supply a driving voltage in a direction of opening the diaphragm unit, for outputting, to the diaphragm driving unit, a second control signal to supply the driving voltage in a direction of closing the diaphragm unit, and for controlling the operation of the photoelectric transduction unit, the pulse generation unit, and the diaphragm driving unit; wherein the diaphragm driving unit comprises:
