Abstract
A smear-correcting device that corrects a smear of an image signal from a CCD having photoelectric conversion elements including a smear-correcting photoelectric conversion element, is provided and includes: a determining section determining whether a smear component is contained in an image signal from the photoelectric conversion elements other than the smear-correcting photoelectric conversion element, based on a corresponding smear-correcting signal from the smear-correcting photoelectric conversion element; a section correcting the smear of the image signal determined to contain the smear component, based on the corresponding smear-correcting signal; and an output section that outputs an image signal. When the determining section determines that the image signal contains a smear component, the output section outputs the image signal after correcting a smear of the image signal, and when the determining section determines that the image signal does not contains the smear component, the output section outputs the image signal without smear correction.
