Abstract
In a camera device, the pixel numbers of an imaging device are selected to be greater than the largest number of pixels necessary for the generation of video signals of different aspect ratios and television standards. Output signals of the imaging device are stored in a memory and are then are selectively output. As a result, common use of an imaging device is permitted for camera apparatuses of, for instance, the NTSC, and other standards.
