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 15):
The endoscope apparatus according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the one or more controllers are configured to set a plurality of scanning areas, the imaging element is configured to generate the imaging signals of the pixels included in each of the plurality of the scanning areas, and the video signal generating circuit is configured to generate the video signal by composing the imaging signals of the pixels included in each of the plurality of the scanning areas.
