IMAGE CAPTURING CIRCUIT THAT CAN BE APPLIED TO IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS

An image capturing circuit that can be applied to an image capturing apparatus, including a pixel array having photoelectric conversion elements arranged in a matrix, a row selection circuit capable of reading out still image data with a first resolution and LV moving image data with a second resolution lower than the first resolution from the pixel array, an image memory for storing the read still image data and the read LV moving image data, and a reduction circuit that converts the still image data to reduced image data with a third resolution lower than the first resolution. The still image data is read out from the memory and output after converted to the reduced still image data, and the still image data is also output without being converted. The LV moving image data is read out from the memory and output without being converted.
