Abstract:
1. A solid-state imaging sensor provided with a plurality of pixels which convert an object image formed by an imaging optical system into an electrical signal, at least a portion of the plurality of pixels being ranging pixels in which a first photoelectric conversion unit and a second photoelectric conversion unit are provided in alignment in a first direction, and when a region of the solid-state imaging sensor is divided into a first region and a second region by a straight line perpendicular to the first direction and passing through the center of the solid-state imaging sensor; then in more than half of the ranging pixels in a region of the first region that is distanced by no less than a predetermined distance from the straight line, the capacitance of the first photoelectric conversion unit is greater than the capacitance of the second photoelectric conversion unit; and in more than half of the ranging pixels in a region of the second region that is distanced by no less than a predetermined distance from the straight line, the capacitance of the second photoelectric conversion unit is greater than the capacitance of the first photoelectric conversion unit.
