ABSTRACT:
An image-pickup device includes a solid-image-pickup element which can select between an ordinary mode wherein all of a plurality of pixel signals are sequentially read and at least one pixel-addition mode wherein the pixel signals corresponding to same-color filters are added and output; a defective-information-storage unit which stores position information of a defective pixel on the solid-image-pickup element in the ordinary mode; a signal-correction unit which corrects a pixel signal of a picked-up-image signal based on the position information; and a position-information conversion unit that converts the position information when the pixel-addition mode is selected so that the position information agrees with information about a pixel arrangement, the pixel-arrangement information corresponding to the picked-up-image signal generated in the pixel-addition mode, and that transmits the converted position information to the signal-correction unit.
