Abstract
An image sensing apparatus provided with a plurality of image sensing elements each including a plurality of photoelectric conversion sections and an adding circuit adapted to add signals from the plurality of photoelectric conversion sections to obtain a one-pixel signal, wherein the adding circuit adds the signals obtained by the addition are arranged at equal intervals in an area extending over the plurality of image sensing elements.
Claims2
An image sensing apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of image sensing areas each including a plurality of photoelectric conversion sections, wherein said plurality of photoelectric conversion sections included in each image sensing area include photoelectric conversion sections having different sizes;
- and
- an adding circuit adapted to add signals from said plurality of photoelectric conversion sections to obtain a one-pixel signal, wherein said adding circuit adds the one-pixel signals such that the one-pixel signals obtained by the addition are arranged at equal intervals in an area extending over said plurality of image sensing areas.
