Abstract
For a first region being a portion of a storage section (), a read-out pulse produced by a progressive scanning shift register () is used to perform a progressive read-out operation of reading out signals from all rows of image-storing pixels (). For a second region including an entire region other than the first region, a read-out pulse produced by a skip scanning shift register () is used to perform a skip read-out operation of reading out signals from intermittently-selected rows of image-storing pixels (). The progressive scanning shift register () produces the read-out pulse so that the first region moves every frame and an entire region of the storage section () is scanned over a plurality of frames.
