Abstract
A solid-state imaging apparatus comprises a fast driving means that drives a solid-state imaging device at a high speed for the preservation time for one screen in a solid-state imaging device; that is, for one of time intervals corresponding to a plurality of divisions of a one-field period in a television signal mode, a fast transfer circuit for transferring pixel outputs of the solid-state imaging device at a high speed, field memories in which image signals sent from the fast transfer circuit are stored screen by screen, a selection output control circuit that reads the image signals stored screen by screen in the field memories by converting the time bases into the one for the one-field period in the television signal mode, and selectively outputs the plurality of read image signals depending on the state of a subject, and an adder for adding up the image signals selected by the selection output control circuit and providing an output image signal.
