Abstract:
1. An image sensing apparatus comprising: a pixel array in which a plurality of pixels are arrayed in a direction along a row and a direction along a column, the plurality of pixels including a first pixel group and a second pixel group; a driving unit which causes the first pixel group to perform accumulation operations of first signals in each of successive frame periods, and causes the second pixel group to perform accumulation operations of second signals in a first frame period of the successive frame periods; a readout unit which, when performing still image shooting parallel to movie shooting, reads out, in each of the successive frame periods, the first signals from the first pixel group, and reads out, over the successive frame periods, the second signals of the first frame period from pixels of the second pixel group that are different from each other between the successive frame periods; and a generation unit which generates an image signal for a movie of one frame in each of the successive frame periods from the first signals read out in each of the successive frame periods, and also generates an image signal for a still image of one frame in the first frame period by composing the first signals read out in the first frame period and the second signals read out over the successive frame periods.
