Abstract:
An image sensor comprises: a pixel array having a plurality of photoelectric conversion portions provided for each of a plurality of microlenses arranged in matrix; a plurality of signal output lines provided for each column of the pixel array; signal readout circuits each provided for each column of the pixel array; and a control circuit that controls to output a signal of a selected row to one of the plurality of signal output lines and controls to process the signal by the corresponding signal readout circuit. The control circuit performs control such that while a signal of a first row output to one of the plurality of signal output lines is processed by the corresponding signal readout circuit, a signal from a second row is output to another of the plurality of signal output lines.

Claim (Index 4):
The image sensor according to  claim 3 , wherein the unit pixel outputs a rest signal, a first transferred signal that is based on charge corresponding to the incident light and transferred from a part of the plurality of photoelectric conversion portions, and a second transferred signal that is based on charge corresponding to an incident light and transferred from all of the plurality of photoelectric conversion portions, and\n the control circuit controls\n first control of outputting the reset signal to the signal output line, \n second control of processing the reset signal output to the signal output line in the first control by the signal readout circuit, \n third control of outputting the first transferred signal to the signal output line, \n the fourth control of processing the first transferred signal output to the signal output line in the third control by the signal readout circuit, \n fifth control of outputting the second transferred signal to the signal output line, and \n sixth control of processing the second transferred signal output to the signal output line in the fifth control by the signal readout circuit, and \n controls a first readout operation in which the second control for the first row and the first control for the second row are performed in parallel, the third control for the first row and the second control for the second row are performed in parallel, the forth control for the first row and the third control for the second row are performed in parallel, the fifth control for the first row and the fourth control of the second row are performed in parallel, and the sixth control for the first row and the fifth control for the second row are performed in parallel.
