A pixel sensing subsystem for a solid state image sensor includes frame timing logic that produces a frame timing signal indicative of an end-of-frame time and a beginning-of-frame time and reset logic that produces a reset signal for a charge accumulator of pixel sensing electronics. The reset logic asserts the reset signal at least once between the end-of-frame time and the beginning-of-frame time to prevent saturation of the pixel sensing element.
