Abstract
A charge-coupled imaging device has a width/height ratio which is adjustable since a number of columns situated in two strips on either side of the sensor are not used. The charge generated in these columns is placed in the horizontal output register simultaneously with the active information which is to be used, and is drained off in the flyback time between consecutive active line times through the output of the output register. Since the non-active strips are situated on either side of the sensor, the location of the center of the active portion of the matrix is fixed, independent of whether the information from the said strips is or is not used, so that in every state of the sensor this center coincides with the optical center of the optical system used.
