ABSTRACT:
A data region is provided to a non-effective pixel region, which is not used in generating an image, that constitutes a photosensitive surface of a solid-state image sensor. On a micro lens in predetermined pixels of the data region, a black film is selectively formed. Pixels having the black film are recognized as “0”, and other pixels are recognized as “1”. Individual information of the image sensor is stored in the data region, as digital information. The image sensor outputs an imaging signal including the individual information under a predetermined condition. By determining the value of each pixel in the data region based on the imaging signal, the individual information is read. The read individual information is stored to a predetermined memory. In this way, the individual information can be obtained from the solid-state image sensor built into an imaging device, and set to the imaging device.
