ABSTRACT:
An encapsulated endoscope in which exposure amount is controlled at the light source side, and a MOS image sensor is not required to mount a vertical scanning circuit for electronic shutter which is to provide an exposure amount control function. Therefore, since a vertical scanning circuit for electronic shutter is not mounted, the sensor area can be made smaller so that size of the interior of the encapsulated endoscope can be reduced.
