Abstract
Camera imaging elements with reduced power consumption are disclosed. In one example, a first imaging element of a camera system includes first pixel circuits that simultaneously sample and non-destructively read charges according to incident light photoelectrically converted in each pixel. A second imaging element includes second pixel circuits that simultaneously sample and non-destructively read charges according to incident light photoelectrically converted in each pixel. The first imaging element selectively outputs a pixel signal from at least some of the first pixel circuits within a frame period on the basis of a pixel signal output from some of the first pixel circuits or the second pixel circuits, and the second imaging element selectively outputs a pixel signal from at least some of the second pixel circuits within the frame period on the basis of a pixel signal output from some of the first pixel circuits or the second pixel circuits.
