An electronic still camera is disclosed which includes a solid state image sensor such as charge transfer device (CTD) and a shutter mechanism. For obtaining a still picture of one frame composed of two fields according to an NTSC television system, the shutter mechanism is driven so as to be opened before and after a signal charge read out period of a CTD by a shutter period control circuit. With this arrangement, the field image light is incident on the CTD in every field period.
