Imaging apparatus

An imaging apparatus comprising:

• a plurality of imaging units each provided to acquire image data by capturing an image of a subject with line scan control;
• and
• a driving unit configured to drive at least one imaging unit as a driving target among the plurality of imaging units, in predetermined driving modes,
• wherein the imaging units have at least first and second imaging sensors, each imaging sensor including photoelectric converters for converting light into an electrical signal arranged in rows and columns,
• wherein the driving unit includes a selection unit that selects a region in the image sensor in a unit used for the line scan control, for storing the image data corresponding to the selected region in a memory, as a first unit formed of one or more rows of the imaging sensor, and
• wherein the driving modes include a first driving mode in which the at least first and second imaging sensors in the imaging unit serving as the driving target are sequentially switched, for each exposure or readout of the first unit selected by the selection unit.
