Abstract
In an image sensing apparatus which uses a solid-state image sensing device, it is an object of the present invention to minimize smear. In order to achieve the object, a solid-state image sensing apparatus includes a solid-state image sensing device, a calculation unit which calculates a signal correction amount from an output signal from the solid-state image sensing device, an indication unit (even_odd_flag) which indicates whether the above output signal is output from an even-numbered line or odd-numbered line of the solid-state image sensing deice, the first correction unit which corrects the signal correction amount in accordance with the output from this indication unit, and the first subtraction unit which subtracts, from the above output signal, the signal correction amount corrected by the first correction unit.
