The optical system 310 guides image light (incident light) from a subject to the pixel section 1a of the imaging device 1. The optical system 310 may include a plurality of optical lenses. The shutter device 311 controls a period in which the imaging device 1 is irradiated with the light and a period in which the light is blocked. The driver 313 controls a transfer operation of the imaging device 1 and a shutter operation of the shutter device 311. The signal processor 312 performs various kinds of signal processing on signals outputted from the imaging device 1. An image signal Dout having been subjected to the signal processing is stored in a storage medium such as a memory or outputted to a monitor, or the like.
Further, the imaging device 1 described above is applicable to the following electronic apparatuses (a capsule type endoscope 10100 and a mobile body such as a vehicle).
(Practical Application Example to In-Vivo Information Acquisition System)
Further, the technology (present technology) according to the present disclosure is applicable to various products. For example, the technology according to the present disclosure may be applied to an endoscopic surgery system.
