An image capture controller causes a reset operation to be performed in order from a pixel “1” with the half depression of a shutter button 4 as the trigger, and when the reset operation of a pixel “12” is completed, causes the reset operation to be again performed in order from the pixel “1”. When the shutter button 4 is fully depressed at a time T=T3, the image capture controller causes the execution of the reset operation to be stopped at a pixel “4” the reset operation of which is completed at that point of time, opens the shutter for an exposure time Tp from a time T=T4, and then, causes the output operation to be performed, from a time T=T6, in order from a pixel “5” next to the pixel “4” the reset operation of which is completed at the reset operation stop time (time T=T3), that is, in the order of the pixel “5”, . . . , a pixel “12”, . . . , to the pixel “4”.
