ABSTRACT:
An image pickup apparatus having difference encoding and non-linear processing of image signals includes a difference encoding circuit for quantizing a difference between signals from adjacent pixels, every other pixel, or pixels having a same color filter, in a solid-state image pickup element. A non-linear processing circuit non-linearly processes the output from the difference encoding circuit. An apparatus main body has an output terminal for supplying an output from the non-linear processing circuit, and a storage body capable of recording the output from the apparatus output terminal is coupled to the main body.
