Abstract
A camera system including an imaging device; and a signal processor. The imaging device includes; a first imaging cell having a first photoelectric converter generating a first signal; and a second imaging cell having a second photoelectric converter generating a second signal; and a capacitor having a first and second terminal, the first terminal electrically coupled to second photoelectric converter. An area of the first photoelectric converter is greater than an area of the second photoelectric converter in a plan view, the first imaging cell has a first number of saturation charges, and the second imaging cell has a second number of saturation charges, the number of saturation charges by the first photoelectric converter is greater than the number of saturation charges by the second photoelectric converter. The capacitor causes the second number of saturation charges to become greater than the first number of saturation charges.
