Electronic still camera
First Claim
1. An electronic still camera for determining photographing conditions from an output of a solid-state imaging device by a preparative photographing operation prior to an actual photographing and generating an actual photographing image from an output signal of the solid-state imaging device based on the photographing conditions, comprising:
- a solid-state imaging device;
means for reducing a read-out rate of a image signal from the solid-state imaging device at the actual photographing operation lower than a read-out rate of a image signal from the solid-state imaging device at the preparative photographing operation; and
band-width changing means for reducing a signal passing band-width at the actual photographing operation narrower than a signal passing band-width at the preparative photographing operation in a image signal path from the solid-state imaging device.

Abstract
An electronic still camera for determining photographing conditions from output of the solid-state imaging device by the preparative photographing operation prior to actual photographing operation and generating an actual photographing image from an output signal of the solid-state imaging device based on the photographing conditions, characterized by that the electronic camera has the solid-state imaging device, the means for reducing the read-out rate of a image signal from the solid-state imaging device at the actual photographing operation lower than the read-out rate of a image signal from the solid-state imaging device at the preparative photographing operation, and the band-width changing means for reducing the signal passing band-width at the actual photographing operation narrower than the signal passing band-width at the preparative photographing operation in the image signal path from the solid-state imaging device.
