The present invention is an image pickup apparatus provided with a pixel section in which pixels each including a photoelectric conversion section and a signal storage section that temporarily stores a signal charge of the photoelectric conversion section are two-dimensionally arrayed, that resets the signal storage sections before exposing a still image and reads reset data used to remove reset noise of a still image, configured to divide the pixel section into a plurality of pixel groups and sequentially reset the signal storage sections of the respective pixel groups by a transistor, sequentially read reset signals by a selection transistor and cause the selection transistor to read one or more times an LV signal charge generated by exposure of a predetermined pixel group within a time segment during which the signal storage sections are sequentially reset before the signal storage sections of the predetermined pixel group are reset.

An image-taking lens unit has an image-taking lens system that forms an optical image of an object and an image sensor that receives the optical image in a rectangular image-sensing region and converts the optical image into an electrical signal. The image-taking lens system includes a reflective optical element that bends the optical path. Of the lens elements constituting the image-taking lens system, the most image-side lens element called the last lens element is molded of resin, and is given a non-circular outer shape fulfilling a prescribed condition.

An imaging optical unit including a simple and small retracting mechanism and optical members having a small eccentric error and an image pickup apparatus will be provided. The imaging optical unit for guiding light to an image pickup device is structured so that a first holding member, for holding a reflection member for turning a light flux entering from the side of a subject along a first optical axis to a second optical axial direction almost at right angle, rotates freely about a rotating shaft between the retracting position where the first holding member is housed in a lens frame of the imaging optical unit and the using position where it is projected.

An image processing system capable of reducing processing time is provided. A digital camera and a PC are connected to each other with a cable for making communications under USB or the like. Image data of a RAW image and computing parameters are transmitted from the PC to the digital camera through the cable. The image data received by the digital camera is sequentially subjected to processing based on the computing parameters in a white balance controller, a pixel interpolator, a color space converter, a gamma converter, a YCrCb converter, an edge enhancer, an LPF part and an RGB converter. The image data having undergone the above processing is transmitted from the digital camera to the PC through the cable.
摘要:
The image capturing apparatus can perform image capturing at a high frame rate higher than a frame rate used for displaying a moving image. In image capturing with flashlight in the image capturing apparatus, the high frame rate is set and three images are successively captured while increasing the light emission amount of the flashlight in order. A region in the lower portion of the image captured first, a region in the center portion of the image captured second, and a region in the upper portion of the image captured third, the exposure level being proper in each of these regions, are extracted and combined. As a result, a high-quality synthetic image in which exposure is proper from the front side to the deep side in image capturing in a room can be generated.
