Abstract
For a buffer amplifier provided near a solid state imaging device for photoelectrically converting an optical image by an image forming optical system and amplifying the signal of the output end, the temperature rise of the solid state imaging device is reduced by reducing the electric power consumption in a non-signal reading out period in which no driving signal is applied against a signal reading out period in which an image signal is output from the output end of this solid state imaging device by applying a driving signal to the solid state imaging device.
