Image sensing apparatus with optical-axis deflecting device
First Claim
1. An image sensing apparatus comprising:
- optical-axis deflecting means for deflecting an optical axis of an optical system;
image sensing means for converting an image formed by the optical system on an image sensing plane to an image signal;
first signal processing means for performing a first predetermined signal processing on the image signal output from said image sensing means, the first predetermined signal processing including storing the image signal in a first memory;
second signal processing means for causing said optical-axis deflecting means to deflect the optical axis to a plurality of positions and for performing a second predetermined signal processing for combining the image signals on the image signals output from said image sensing means corresponding to a plurality of deflected positions of said optical-axis deflecting means, the second predetermined signal processing including storing the combined image signals in a second memory;
mode selecting means for selecting a first signal processing mode causing said first signal processing means to perform the first predetermined signal processing and a second signal processing mode causing said second signal processing means to perform the second predetermined signal processing; and
control means, in the second signal processing mode, for causing said second signal processing means to perform the second predetermined signal processing and outputting an image signal output from said first memory of said first signal processing means during performing of the second predetermined signal processing by said second signal processing means using said second memory.
