PURPOSE:To contrive multi-system of one image pickup element by providing a 1st horizontal transfer section receiving charges for all periods in the horizontal direction and a 2nd horizontal transfer section receiving a charge of a partial period in the horizontal direction of the 1st horizontal transfer section in the solid-state image pickup device. CONSTITUTION:A 1st horizontal transfer section 502 is connected to a vertical transfer section of an image pickup section 501 via a gate. Thus, a charge is transferred from a vertical transfer section of the image pickup section 501 to a horizontal transfer section 502 in the unit of lines, the charge in the horizontal transfer section 502 is extracted via an amplifier 503 at a high speed to obtain a video signal whose picture angle is m:n at an output terminal 504. Moreover, when the charge from the vertical transfer section whose picture angle indicated in the image pickup section 501 is k:n is desired to be extracted, the charge is fed from the image pickup section 501 to the 2nd horizontal transfer section 506, and the charge in the horizontal transfer section 505 is transferred at a high speed and extracted via the amplifier 506, then a video signal whose picture angle is k:m is extracted at an output terminal 504. Thus, the video signal of an optional picture angle in a range of a valid screen of m:n is obtained.

Normally, an effective angle of view is set in the image pickup portion of the solid-state image pickup device into which an optical image is introduced, and the other portion has an optical black portion which is not exposed to light. In the figure, an effective angle of view 101 is shown. A large number of photosensitive sections 102 are two-dimensionally arranged in the image pickup section, and vertical transfer sections 103 are respectively formed between the columns. Photosensitive part 10
The charges accumulated in 2 corresponding to the amount of light are simultaneously shifted to the vertical transfer unit 103 in the vertical cycle, and the vertical transfer unit 10
3 transfers the accumulated charges to the horizontal transfer unit 104 in units of one row (line) in a horizontal cycle. The horizontal transfer unit 104 horizontally transfers charges within one horizontal period and outputs the charges as a charge signal to the output terminal 106 through the output amplifier 105. When all the charges of the horizontal transfer unit 104 are derived, the charges of the next line are transferred from the vertical transfer unit 103 to this horizontal transfer unit 104 for one line. When the charge signal for one screen is output from the output terminal 106 by repeating such an operation, the vertical transfer unit 103 becomes empty. Therefore,

Reference numeral 401 denotes an image pickup unit (or storage unit) which can obtain information for one screen. For normal operation,
The operation of transferring the charges sent from the vertical transfer unit of the image pickup unit 401 to the horizontal transfer unit by the horizontal transfer pulse ΦH is repeated. In this operation, the effective angle of view is the entire light receiving surface. In addition, it is not necessary to sweep the charges of the horizontal transfer unit 402 to the drain 404 through the gate 403. However, when the charges in the horizontal transfer unit 402 are transferred by the horizontal transfer pulse, a sweep gate pulse is added to the gate 403 before the transfer of all charges is completed, and the charges remaining in the horizontal transfer unit 402 are swept to the drain 404. After that, charges are sent from the image pickup unit 401 to the horizontal transfer unit 402. By repeating this operation, a video signal having an angle of view smaller than the effective angle of view can be obtained from the terminal 405. However, it is necessary to add a sweeping gate pulse to the gate 403, and it is impossible to extract the central portion or the right portion of the effective screen.
