Image sensor, electronic apparatus, signal transmission system, and control method

An electronic apparatus, comprising:

• an optical system that collects light;
• and
• an image sensor that receives light and picks up an image, the image sensor including:
• a plurality of pixels;
• a plurality of VSLs (Vertical Signal Lines);
• an assist signal line,
• wherein the assist signal line is adjacent to a first VSL included in the plurality of VSLs,
• wherein the assist signal line is placed along the first VSL,
• wherein the assist signal line is capacitively coupled to the first VSL,
• wherein the assist signal line is a second VSL included in the plurality of VSLs,
• wherein signals from pixels in a first column of pixels flow through the first VSL,
• wherein signals output from pixels in a second column of pixels flow through the assist signal line,
• wherein the second column of pixels is separated from the first column of pixels by a third column of pixels, and
• wherein the assist signal line is placed so as to surround the first VSL;
• and
• a signal control unit that causes similar signals to flow through the assist signal line and the first VSL.
