Abstract
An imaging apparatus can obtain a high quality still picture imaging signal in the all pixels read out mode and output it by means of an output processing means adapted to the interlaced read out mode. The imaging signal read out from a CCD image sensor in the interlaced read out mode is directly supplied to a DV recording/reproducing processing section by way of a camera signal processing circuit . The imaging signal read out from said CCD image sensor in the apparatus is converted into an interlaced signal by a scan conversion section A, which is then supplied to the DV recording/reproducing processing section
