Disclosed is an image pick-up device which uses a charge transfer type solid state image pick-up device, and further is provided with a shutter so as to form a high quality picture signal in such a manner that the smear is prevented by prohibiting the incidence of the light on the device while the charge is transferred in the device. Further, the device is driven by a clock signal for still photographing in order to obtain a high quality picture information for one frame surely. Further, the photographing parameter is automatically changed over or the monitor is changed over between the motion picture photographing mode and the still photographing mode.

Image pick-up device having switching over means, image pick-up means,

An electronic camera including an image pickup element, a solid state memory of relatively small capacity for storing at least one frame of a video signal produced by the image pickup element and a non-solid state memory of relatively large capacity for storing the video signal stored in the solid state memory, wherein these memories each are made releasably attached to the image pickup element.

Electronic camera with detachable buffer memory

An image sensing apparatus is provided with a solid-state image sensor which is capable of sweeping out electric charges therefrom, a mechanical shutter and a control circuit for controlling the time period from the time point at which the electric charges of the solid-state image sensor are swept out when the mechanical shutter is in its open state to the time point at which the mechanical shutter is closed.

Image sensing apparatus with control of charge storage time

There is disclosed an apparatus including a guide member for guiding a photographed film, an illumination unit for illuminating the film, a reflection member for reflecting light from the film, a conversion unit for photoelectrically converting light reflected by the reflection member, and a housing which builds in at least the conversion unit and the illumination unit.

Apparatus for photographing photographed film

Image pick-up device

An electronic camera electronically records an optical image by using a non solid-state memory and includes an image pickup element, an image pickup section, and an external recording section. The image pickup section includes a solid-state memory means for digital-recording at least one-frame image signals supplied from the image pickup element. The external recording section includes a non solid-state memory means, and a D/A converter for analog-recording a digital image signal supplied from the image pickup section on the non solid-state memory means. The image pickup section and the external recording section are detachable.

Electronic camera

A recording and/or reproducing apparatus includes a plurality of time base changing elements arranged to perform band compression and expansion by altering the time base of an incoming signal; a switching circuit arranged to selectively change audio signals inputted into and outputted from these time base changing elements from one over to another; and a recording-and-reproducing circuit arranged to record and reproduce the band compressed audio signal on and from a recording medium.

Recording and/or reproducing apparatus

A solid-state semiconductor device which is used as an image sensor or the like has a transfer electrodes which are formed over a semiconductor substrate through an insulating layer and consist of material having a relatively low conductivity wiring means are arranged along the directions of the surfaces of the transfer electrodes and consist of material having a relatively high conductivity for short-circuiting parts of the transfer electrodes. In this device, the signal transfer charcteristics of the transfer electrodes are improved.

Solid state semiconductor device

An image sensing apparatus is provided with an image sensor; an electronic monitor having a number of scanning lines fewer than the vertical picture elements of the image sensor; and a driving circuit driving the image sensor with a fewer number of scanning lines when the apparatus is in a monitor mode than in an image sensing mode. The driving circuit is arranged to drive the image sensor in a non-interlacing manner in the monitor mode.

Recording and/or reproducing device

An image pick-up apparatus which has an image pick-up part, a color separating filter arranged in front of the image pick-up part, a driver, a storage part and a read out part. The image pick-up part includes a plurality of horizontal line sensors. The filter has a color repetitive pattern, having a predetermined period in the horizontal direction. The driver has a plurality of states, the successive assumption of which horizontally transfers information in each line sensor at a predetermined interval. The driver is structured and arranged to operate soo that such transfer is stopped intermittently during the transfer interval. The storage part temporarily stores information transferred horizontally from each line sensor, and the read out part sequentially reads out the information in the storage part, line by line.
