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 10):
A control method of an image sensor that has a pixel array having a plurality of photoelectric conversion portions provided for each of a plurality of miorolenses arranged in matrix, a plurality of signal output lines provided for each column of the pixel array, and signal readout circuits each provided for each column of the pixel array, the method comprising:\n processing, while outputting a signal from a first row to one of the plurality of signal output lines, a signal output from a row different from the first row to another of the plurality of signal output lines by the corresponding signal readout circuit; and outputting, while processing the signal output from the first row to the one of the plurality of signal output lines by the corresponding signal readout circuit, a signal output from a row different from the first row to another of the plurality of signal output lines.
