Title:

IMAGING DEVICE AND IMAGING METHOD

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2008/053716

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

Signal processing at a high screen rate by a camera signal processing circuit is not required for high-speed imaging, and signal processing is performed at a normal screen rate. In high-speed imaging mode, RAW data of 240fps from an image sensor (101) is recorded on a recording device (111) through a conversion processing section (201) and a recording device control circuit (210). Decimated and size-changed RAW data is supplied to a camera signal processing circuit (203) through a preprocessing circuit (202), and an image being picked up is displayed on a display section (112) by a signal to which camera signal processing is performed. In reproduction, the RAW data is read out from the recording device (111) at a low screen rate in accordance with the display performance of the display section (112), the read out RAW data is processed by the preprocessing circuit (202) and the camera signal processing circuit (203), and a reproduced image is displayed by the display section (112).
