Laminated image pickup device, image pickup apparatus, image pickup method, and recording medium recorded with image pickup program

An image pickup method comprising:

• continuously acquiring image data at a predetermined frame rate with a sensor provided on a laminated sensor and including a plurality of pixels;
• obtaining, in a circuit on a different layer from the sensor, a priority region including some pixels of the plurality of pixels, based on the image data;
• and
• obtaining outputs of the some pixels included in the priority region at a higher frame rate than the predetermined frame rate.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium recorded with an image pickup program, the image pickup program causing a computer to execute procedures of:

• continuously acquiring image data at a predetermined frame rate with a sensor provided on a laminated sensor and including a plurality of pixels;
• obtaining, in a circuit on a different layer from the sensor, a priority region including some pixels of the plurality of pixels, based on the image data;
• and
• obtaining outputs of the some pixels included in the priority region at a higher frame rate than the predetermined frame rate.
