ABSTRACT:
An image sensing apparatus has a plurality of pixels, and can output an image by converting its resolution by adding and reading out pixels for respective pixel groups each including a predetermined number of pixels of the plurality of pixels. Each pixel has a photoelectric conversion unit, an amplifier for amplifying and outputting a signal from the photoelectric conversion unit, and a capacitor connected to the output of the amplifier. The apparatus has a plurality of switches for commonly connecting between the capacitors of two or more pixels of the plurality of pixels.
