Abstract:
[Object] The present technique relates to an image pickup device, a control method, and an image pickup apparatus with which more diverse pickup images can be obtained.[Solving Means] An image pickup device according to the present technique includes: a pixel array that reads out pixel signals obtained by photoelectrically converting incident light, from each of a plurality of pixels in the pixel array; an analog processing unit that carries out signal processing on the analog pixel signals to obtain digital image data; a storage unit that stores the image data; a signal processing unit that carries out signal processing on the image data stored in the storage unit; an output unit that outputs the image data stored in the storage unit; and a control unit that causes reading processing, analog processing, digital processing, and output processing to be executed at processing speeds independent from one another. The present technique is applicable to an image pickup device and an electronic apparatus, for example.
