Abstract
A MOS solid-state image pickup device having vertical overflow drains is capable of increasing the dynamic range for the brightness of a scene to be picked up. An electronic still picture camera is constructed by the image pickup device in combination with shutter means capable of simultaneously controlling the exposure of the whole area of the image pickup surface of the image pickup device and control means for varying the potential at the potential well of the image pickup device during the exposure time and thereby providing an increased dynamic range characteristic for a picture output signal.
