Abstract:
An endoscope apparatus includes an imaging element, a video signal generating circuit, an illuminator, and one or more controllers. An imaging area in which a plurality of pixels are disposed includes a scanning area. In a case in which a first operation mode is set, the one or more controllers control the imaging element such that at least parts of the exposure periods of the pixels disposed in at least a part of the scanning area overlap each other. In a case in which a second operation mode is set, the one or more controllers control the illuminator such that the light source is turned on in a period in which at least parts of the exposure periods of the pixels disposed in at least a part of the scanning area overlap each other.

Claim (Index 9):
The endoscope apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein the one or more controllers are configured to control the illuminator such that the light source is turned on in a period in which at least parts of the exposure periods of all of the pixels disposed in the scanning area overlap each other, and such that periods in which the illumination light is emitted to the subject in all of the pixels disposed in the scanning area in the exposure periods are the same.
