Imaging apparatus, solid image sensor, and method for driving the solid image sensor

An imaging apparatus having a function for preventing blurry images caused by shaken apparatus body, comprising:

• a solid image sensor having an electronic charge transferor which comprises 2-dimentionally arrayed multiple electronic charge coupling elements having specific electronic charge coupling elements which accumulate electronic charges of each pixel in an optical image generated by photoelectric conversion, and a horizontal transferor which obtains the accumulated electronic charges in said electronic charge transferor line by line as an image signal;
• a driver which drives said solid image sensor with a first drive signal which causes said solid image sensor to execute a plurality of exposures during exposure term for image capturing and a second drive signal which causes said solid image sensor to transfer the electronic charges accumulated in said specific electronic charge coupling elements in vertical and/or horizontal directions;
• a shake detector which detects directions and amounts of shakes at said apparatus body, and generates shake information representing the detected directions and amounts of the shakes;
• and
• a controller which controls said driver to generate said second drive signal based on the shake information obtained from said shake detector.
