Imaging apparatus, control method thereof, and imaging system for performing appropriate image capturing when a driving method is changed
Abstract:
An imaging apparatus includes a control unit which has a first mode in which image signals are read out successively from every predetermined line of a first photoelectric conversion element group arranged in a first region of an imaging plane; and a second mode in which image signals are read out successively from every predetermined line of a second photoelectric conversion element group arranged in a second region which is different from the first region of the imaging plane. In addition, the control unit performs control so as to cause a period from starting readout of the signal of the predetermined line to starting next readout of the signal of the predetermined line in the first mode to be the same as that from starting readout of the signal of the predetermined line to starting next readout of the signal in the second mode.
