Abstract
A solid-state image sensing device having: a plurality of sensing means arrayed in the form of a matrix; a charge accumulation means that is connected to the sensing means and accumulates a charge generated at the sensing means; an accumulable charge adjusting means that adjusts the amount of accumulable charge of the charge accumulation means; and a control means that controls the accumulable charge adjusting means. The control means controls the amount of accumulable charge to vary continuously or discontinuously in time series within one imaging period and within a given amount of accumulable charge of the control means.
