Abstract
An original image is subjected to reduction processing while minimizing cutting of intrinsically-reproducible frequency bands. A solid-state image-capturing device is provided with: a photoelectric conversion unit that is formed by arraying pixels of a plurality of colors having predetermined color-array periodicity in two-dimensionally, vertically and horizontally; a pixel mixing and reading unit that mixes pixel signals obtained by the photoelectric conversion unit, in each of pixels of the same colors in an n×n (n denotes a desired integer of 2 or more) block, and that outputs multi-channel reduced image signals with a reduction ratio 1/n; and an inter-channel displacement correcting unit that corrects inter-channel displacements of the reduced image signals output by the pixel mixing and reading unit and that outputs corrected reduced image signals.
