Abstract
An image pick-up apparatus, wherein a light emitting device sequentially emits a plurality of colors of light to a subject, a mono-color image pick-up element photo-electrically converts light reflected by or transmitted through the subject into color-field sequential signals, a memory stores the color-field sequential signals separately in connection with respective colors, and a convertor sequentially or simultaneously reads out the color-field sequential signals stored in connection with the respective colors in the memory and converts them into desired video signals of various color spaces. A disc shaped light shield device with a slit intermittently interrupts light from the light emitting device.
