In reference to drawings, the image-capturing device and the image sensor according to the second embodiment will be described. An image sensor 3 according to the second embodiment separately and individually reads out pixel signals from all the pixels 10, as in the first embodiment, when the first control mode is set by the control unit 4. However, if the second control mode is set by the control unit 4, the image sensor 3 according to the second embodiment reads out a signal by combining signals from a plurality of pixels 10 disposed consecutively along the row direction and along the column direction. For instance, the image sensor 3 may read out a signal by combining signals from three× three=nine pixels. In the example presented in
