Image capture device

An image capture device comprising:

• an infrared light source configured to illuminate an object with infrared light;
• and
• a solid-state image capture device including first pixels and second pixels adjacent to the respective corresponding first pixels, the first and second pixels being arranged in a matrix,
• wherein
• the solid-state image capture device includes
• a photoelectric conversion unit configured to convert incident light from the object into signal charge,
• a read electrode configured to read the signal charge from the photoelectric conversion unit, and
• a vertical transfer unit including a plurality of electrodes and configured to read all pixels and transfer the signal charge in an upward column direction and a downward column direction, and
• the first and second pixels alternate in each column,
• in the solid-state image capture device, there is a repetition of a first exposure period and a second exposure period during one frame scanning period,
• during the first exposure period, the signal charge from the first pixel and the signal charge from the second pixel adjacent to the first pixel in the horizontal direction are added together in the vertical transfer unit to produce first signal charge, and
• during the second exposure period, the signal charge from the first pixel and the signal charge from another second pixel adjacent to the first pixel in the horizontal direction are added together in the vertical transfer unit at a position which is different from a position during the first exposure period, to produce second signal charge.
