Abstract
An image-sensing device has pixel areas for outputting CCD signals of plural channels, and an adjusting portion for adjusting a level of each channel of the CCD signals outputted from the pixel area. A first channel CCD signal is provided from a pixel area, a horizontal OB area, a slide shift area, and an HCCD. A second channel CCD signal is provided from a pixel area, a horizontal OB area, a slide shift area, and an HCCD. Both of the first and second CCD signals are supplied to the adjusting portion with a reference signal added. The adjusting portion controls CCD signal of each channel by making the level of reference signal the same. The variation of the shift efficiency of electric charge in the border of pixel areasandfor each channel, and in the slide shift areasandcan be compensated.
