Patent ID: 8199232

Claim:
An amplification-type solid-state image capturing apparatus comprising: a shutter control section; and a plurality of pixel sections each including a photoelectric conversion element for receiving light of a subject and performing a photoelectric conversion on the light of the subject and a transfer section operable to transfer signal charge from the photoelectric conversion element to a charge detection section, the plurality of pixel sections connected to each charge detection section, and the amplification-type solid-state image capturing apparatus amplifying and reading potential at the charge detection section as signal data for each of the pixel sections, wherein at least two of the plurality of pixel sections which share the charge detection section are configured to each perform one original shutter operation at different times during a shutter operation (S); and the shutter control section is configured to, in response to one pixel section performing an original shutter operation during the shutter operation (S), perform an additional shutter operation on the remaining pixel sections which share the charge detection section with the one pixel section and have not yet performed an original shutter operation during the shutter operation (S).
