An image pick-up apparatus includes, an image pickup device having a plurality of pixels disposed with a predetermined distance therebetween to pick up an image on a photographic original with respect to a plurality of colors; an image forming device having an optical axis, to form the image of the photographic original onto the image pickup device; a pixel shifting device to shift a focal point of the image on the image pickup device by a distance shorter than a distance between the pixels of the image pickup device; a plurality of color filters having a plurality of colors different from each other; and a filter selector to select a color filter from the plurality of color filters and for disposing the color filter between the photographic original and the image pickup device. The image pick-up apparatus further includes a controller to control the image pickup device to pick up the image of the photographic original in a first condition that makes the pixel shifting device operative, and to pick up the image of the photographic original in a second condition that makes the pixel shifting device inoperative, at each time when the controller controls the filter selector to change a color filter to another color filter of the plurality of color filters.

Imaging apparatus including a pixel shifting means

A still video camera includes a solid-state image pickup device including a photosensor section, a vertical transfer section for vertically transferring charge from the photosensor section, and a horizontal transfer section for outputting the charge from the vertical transfer section to the outside. The solid-state image pickup device is arranged to change an exposure time. Exposure is started at an end of transfer of the charge from the photosensor section to the vertical transfer section. Emission of an electronic flash is started on the basis of a predetermined shutter speed when a predetermined period of time has elapsed. The charge of the photosensor section in the solid-state image pickup device is transferred to the vertical transfer section when an amount of light reflected by an object to be photographed reaches a predetermined value, thereby completing the exposure.
