Patent ID: 8259189

Claim:
An electronic camera comprising: an image sensor having a plurality of pixels; and a control section configured to set, at a time of imaging, a selected imaging sensitivity from a plurality of imaging sensitivities, wherein each of the pixels includes: a first light receiving element configured to generate a first image signal; a second light receiving element configured to generate a second image signal higher in imaging sensitivity than the first image signal under a same condition; and an output circuit configured to add the first image signal and the second image signal, and wherein the control section is configured to specify an output signal of each of the pixels from one of the first image signal, the second image signal, and an additional image signal of the first image signal and the second image signal in accordance with an SN ratio at the selected imaging sensitivity, and when the selected imaging sensitivity is lowest of the plurality of imaging sensitivities, the control section is further configured to specify only the first image signal as the output signal.
