Abstract:
An imaging sensor is configured to generate a signal that is obtained by amplifying one of a signal corresponding to a first accumulation period and a signal corresponding to a second accumulation period by using amplification factors having different values.

Claim (Index 19):
An apparatus comprising:\n a plurality of column circuit units arranged in a plurality of columns and each configured to generate a signal obtained by amplifying a signal output from corresponding one of a plurality of pixels each including a photoelectric conversion unit, wherein the photoelectric conversion unit respectively accumulates signals during a first accumulation period and a second accumulation period that is a period established separately from the first accumulation period and longer than the first accumulation period, wherein the signal corresponding to the first accumulation period and the signal corresponding to the second accumulation period are input in each of the plurality of column circuit units from the corresponding pixel, wherein each of the plurality of column circuit units includes an amplification circuit, and wherein the amplification circuit included in each of the plurality of column circuit units amplifies at least one of the signal corresponding to the first accumulation period and the signal corresponding to the second accumulation period by a plurality of amplification factors having different values to generate a plurality of signals.
