Abstract
A solid-state image sensor has a plurality of pixels including at least a first pixel configured to detect light in a first wavelength range and a second pixel configured to detect light in a second wavelength range, the second wavelength range including a wavelength range on a longer-wavelength side than the first wavelength range. The sensor includes a control portion configured to supply a control signal to the first and second pixels such that a charge accumulation period of the first pixel is different from a charge accumulation period of the second pixel.
