Abstract:
An image sensor comprises a pixel portion formed by arraying pixels including photoelectric conversion portions in a matrix, a plurality of A/D converters which are provided in a one-to-one correspondence to pixel columns of the pixel portion, an adding unit which adds pixel signals from a plurality of pixel columns to each other, and a connecting portion capable of inputting, to an arbitrary A/D converter, a sum signal obtained by adding the pixel signals by the adding unit.
