ABSTRACT:
A pixel defect detector of the present invention is used for a solid-state imaging device comprising a plurality of photoelectric transducers. The pixel defect detector includes: a calculation section for obtaining output characteristics of a subject photoelectric transducer for varied amounts of light incident thereupon so as to determine the presence/absence of a defect in the subject photoelectric transducer based on the output characteristics thereof.
