Waterproof connector

An electronic device includes an electronic control unit, a wire, and a wiring-side connector. When a movable member is arranged in a first arrangement relative to a wiring-side connector main body, the movable member is in a position where the movable member does not prevent the wire from projecting from the main body to extend straight in a counter-fitting direction. When the movable member rotates from the first arrangement to a second arrangement relative to the main body, a restricting member approaches a portion of the main body from which the wire projects, to press and bend the wire, so a direction in which the wire projects from the main body is limited to a direction crossing the counter-fitting direction. When the movable member is arranged in the second arrangement and the main body is fitted to an ECU-side connector, the second arrangement is maintained.

Storage charges held in a photosensitive section of a CCD, serving as a solid-state imaging device, are simultaneously transferred to a high-speed transfer section, in response to a field shift pulse from a driver. The high-speed transfer section then transfers the charges to a field memory, in unit of lines and at a high speed. The field memory includes first and second memory arrays each having a one-field memory capacity and corresponding to a high-speed transfer array in the high-speed transfer section. Charges from each high-speed transfer array are alternately transferred to the first and second field memory arrays by a gate controlled by gate pulses supplied from the driver. The charges stored in the first field memory array are read out and transferred by a line transfer section, in units of lines, thereby obtaining a video signal of an odd-numbered field. Thereafter, the charges stored in the second field memory array are read out and transferred by the line transfer section, in units of lines, thereby obtaining a video signal of an even-numbered field.
