Abstract
An image capture apparatus includes an image sensor having a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements that are two-dimensionally arrayed, and a readout portion configured to divisionally read out signals from the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements of the image sensor with a plurality of fields using interlaced scanning. The plurality of fields include a first field in which signals from the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements are read out without being subjected to addition and a second field in which signals from the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements are read out while being subjected to addition. The readout portion reads out at least first, second, and third color signals in each of the first and second fields.
