- a dark box;
- a focusing optical system in said box;
- a solid-state image-pickup in said dark box having a plurality of charge storage elements;
- a shutter in said dark box selectively passing light through said focusing optical system to said solid-state image-pickup element;
- reading means for performing a first read operation for reading out for recordation signals from predetermined elements of said solid-state image-pickup following an exposure thereof by said shutter, said reading means performing a second read operation for reading out residual charge from said predetermined elements of said solid-state image-pickup a predetermined time after said first read operation prior to a next exposure of said solid-state image-pickup element, said shutter remaining closed during said predetermined time.
- 2. An electronic still camera system as recited in claim 1, wherein said reading means completes its second read operation at a time no later than approximately 1/30 second following said first read operation.
- 3. An electronic still camera system as recited in claim 1, further comprising;
- a shutter switch controlling said shutter; and
- wherein said reading means performs a third read operation for reading out residual charge from said elements of said solid state image-pickup a first predetermined time after an operation of said shutter switch and before an opening of said shutter.
- 4. An electronic Still camera as recited in claim 3, wherein said reading means performs said third read operation at a first operation of said shutter switch but not at a second operation of said shutter switch within a second predetermined time after said first operation of said shutter switch.
- 5. An electronic still camera as recited in claim 3, wherein said reading means performs said third read operation at every operation of said shutter switch.
- 6. An electronic still camera system as recited in claim 3, further comprising:
- a magnetic recording medium; and
- recording means for recording signals from said first reading means into said magnetic recording medium; and
- wherein said reading means completes said third read operation before a completion of a corresponding operation of said recording means.
