The solid-state image pickup device permitting parallel readout having an image pickup section partitioned into strip blocks and a readout amplifier for each block further has: an input source; and a marker signal generation section for generating marker signals for correction of outputs of the readout amplifiers. The marker signal generation section has a marker charge storage portion made of capacitors for respectively storing an amount of charge corresponding to the potential at the input source. The marker signals having a same charge amount generated in the marker signal generation section are read through vertical CCDs of two adjacent blocks and corresponding horizontal CCDs and readout amplifiers sequentially.
A solid-state image pickup apparatus permitting parallel readout comprising an image pickup section partitioned into blocks and a readout amplifier for each block, the apparatus further comprising:
A method for driving a solid-state image pickup apparatus permitting parallel readout comprising an image pickup section partitioned into blocks and a readout amplifier for each block, the method comprising the steps of:
