To transfer an image signal from a electronic camera head to a personal computer, a PC card provides the interface between the camera head and the personal computer. The PC card is removably attached to the personal computer. As instructed by the personal computer, the PC card operates the camera head, sets its states, writes image data into a memory, reads the image data from the memory for transmission to the personal computer, generates control signals for a light refracting member, and informs the personal computer of the state of the camera head.

Image input apparatus for capturing images of multiple resolutions

An electronic still camera comprises a solid state image sensor for outputting a color picture signal corresponding an incident optical image, a signal processor for signal-processing the color picture signal from the solid state image sensor to produce a color still picture signal, a recorder for recording the color still picture signal produced by the signal processor, and a driver for moving at least one of the optical image and the solid state image sensor from an original position in a horizontal direction by a pixel pitch and in an oblique axial direction defined by horizontal and vertical lines extending respectively from the original position in the horizontal and vertical directions by half the pixel pitch.
