  • Patent number: 10771681
    Abstract: An image pickup apparatus of which the display start timing and the display quality are selectable. The image pickup apparatus has a switch which selectively switches display data to be displayed on a display device between the first display data output by the first output circuit, and the second display data output by the second output circuit, and display the first display data or the second display data on the display device, wherein the first display data is generated by the image data output by the image pickup device developed, and the second display data is generated by the image data transferred by a transfer circuit developed.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10199417
    Abstract: A stacked-type image sensor has an imaging chip and a signal processing chip. The imaging chip includes a pixel unit in which a plurality of pixels are arranged, a plurality of output terminals provided so as to respectively correspond to the plurality of pixels, a first signal selection unit capable of inputting and outputting signals of pixels among the plurality of pixels, and a selection control unit that controls the first signal selection unit. The signal processing chip includes a plurality of input terminals electrically connected to the plurality of output terminals, a second signal selection unit capable of distributing and outputting signals that are input from the plurality of input terminals, and a signal processing circuit that performs predetermined signal processing on the signals distributed by the second signal selection unit.
