Abstract
An image pick up apparatus according to this invention comprises an imaging device for outputting video signals by driving a solid-state imaging element on the basis of a plurality of driving pulses, a noise synthesizer for synthesizing noise components contained in the plurality of driving pulses, and a subtracter for subtracting output signals of the noise synthesizer from the video signals. Signals synthesized with the noise components contained in the driving pulses for driving the solid-state imaging element are subtracted from the video signals transmitted from the imaging device, thereby removing the noise components of the video signals.
