Abstract:
1. An imaging apparatus using a two-dimensional solid imaging device of changeable exposure time in which a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements or pixels are arrayed in horizontal and vertical directions to perform photoelectric conversion in accordance with an image formed on a light receiving surface of photoelectric conversion element by the action of a lens, comprising: an accumulation module which accumulates an output charge of each of the photoelectric conversion elements in a unit of pixel at a designated address; a charge output module which outputs charges plural times by completing a photoelectric conversion within a time shorter than a predetermined exposure time; an address change module which changes the address to be designated to said accumulation module such that a camera-shake generated within the shorter time can be restrained; and a module which generates one sheet (piece) of image by using charges that are outputted from the charge output module plural times and are accumulated in the accumulation module, while the address is being changed by the address change module.
