Abstract:
An endoscope apparatus includes an imaging element, a video signal generating circuit, an illuminator, a light quantity detector, and one or more controllers. An imaging area in which a plurality of pixels are disposed includes a scanning area. The one or more controllers control the imaging element such that at least parts of exposure periods of the pixels disposed in at least a part of the scanning area overlap each other, in a case in which the light quantity is less than a predetermined quantity. 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, in a case in which the light quantity is less than the predetermined quantity.

Claim (Index 5):
The endoscope apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the one or more controllers are configured to set the exposure time of the pixels to the second time corresponding to the light quantity detected by the light quantity detector, in a case in which the light quantity is equal to or greater than the predetermined quantity.
