Abstract:
A plurality of pixels are arranged two-dimensionally in a matrix and individually include a first photosensitive portion and a second photosensitive portion. A plurality of first wirings connect a plurality of first photosensitive portions to each other for every row. A plurality of second wirings connect a plurality of second photosensitive portions to each other for every column. A first reading unit 21 is arranged to read signal data through at least some of the plurality of first wirings. A second reading unit 31 is arranged to read signal data through at least some of the plurality of second wirings. The first reading unit 21 has a reading pixel setting unit 26 arranged to set, based on signal data read in the first frame, a pixel group for reading signal data in a second frame subsequent to a first frame from the plurality of pixels.
