1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an electronic still camera utilizing, as the image sensor, an interline transfer CCD, which will hereinafter abbreviated as IT-CCD.
2. Description of the Prior Art
A fast moving object, recorded with a conventional camera utilizing a silver halide film or an electronic still camera utilizing a solid-state image sensor appears as a blurred image as shown in FIG. 1A. On the other hand, a picture resolved in time, as shown in FIG. 1B, can only be obtained by using a flash device providing plural flashes in an exposure, in combination with the camera.
However such flash device used for obtaining pictures resolved in time has been associated with various drawbacks such as requiring a high voltage, being bulky and inconvenient for transportation. Also such picture can only be obtained within the illuminating range of such flash device.
