Abstract:
1. An image capture device, comprising: an image capture section for reading a pixel signal of a first color component at a first frame rate and reading a pixel signal of a second color component other than the first color component at a second frame rate which is higher than the first frame rate, the image capture section being configured to perform non-destructive read of the pixel signal of the first color component in synchronization with the timing at which the pixel signal of the second color component is read during a charge accumulation time period defined by the first frame rate; a recording medium for recording the pixel signal of the first color component obtained by the read at the first frame rate and the pixel signal of the second color component obtained by the read at the second frame rate; a display section; and a frame rate correction section capable of supplying a color image to be displayed on the display section at the time of image capture at the second frame rate by use of the pixel signal of the first color component obtained by the non-destructive read and the pixel signal of the second color component obtained by the read at the second frame rate, wherein the frame rate correction section includes: a memory for storing the pixel signal obtained by the non-destructive read; and a subtraction section for subtracting a pixel signal obtained by immediately previous non-destructive read from a pixel signal obtained by non-destructive read immediately subsequent thereto based on the pixel signals stored on the memory to find a difference value and outputting the difference value at the second frame rate.
