Abstract
An image shooting unitgenerates an image signal Spa having an image shooting frame rate. A frame addition unitperforms frame addition on the image signal DVb having the image shooting frame rate. Control unitcontrols drive unitand the frame addition unitbased on a frame rate setting signal RSF from operation unit, and controls a variation of the image shooting frame rate in image shooting unitand/or a switch of the number of additive frames in the frame addition unit, thus allowing an image signal DVj having a desired frame rate to be output from the frame addition unit. Thus, increasing the additive frame in number even without decreasing the image shooting frame rate at a low-speed shooting of the image allows such an image signal DVj shot at the low speed to be obtained.
