Abstract
Interpolation precision of phase difference detection pixels is raised. An image sensor () is provided with a color filter () upon which a basic sequence pattern, formed by disposing a first sequence pattern and a second sequence pattern in point symmetry, is repeatedly disposed. In the first sequence pattern, first filters are disposed on pixels in the four corners and in the center of a square array of 3×3 pixels, second filters are disposed in a horizontal line in the center of a square array, and third filters are disposed in a vertical line in the center of a square array. In the second sequence pattern, the first sequence pattern and the positions of the first filters are the same, while the positions of the second filters and the positions of the third filters have been swapped.
