Abstract
A pixel signal outputted from an image pickup device in a standard image pickup region of a solid-state image device and a pixel signal outputted from an image pickup device in a camera shake correction region are written into a first memory and a second memory alternately for each screen. By adjusting the number of lines of a video signal upon reading out a signal from the memory, a moving image is outputted as a wide angle image. Further, by outputting all line signals in the memory, a wider angle still image is obtained.
