Summary:(a) The luminance levels of the optical black part pixels included in the output signal of an image sensor are detected and digitized, (b) the digitized luminance levels of the optical black part pixels are averaged, (c) the number of pixels on which averaging is performed is counted, (d) a control signal is generated when the count value of the number of pixels reaches a predetermined value, (e) the black level of the output signal of the image sensor is determined from the averaged luminance level in response to the control signal, and (f) the luminance levels of the effective part pixels included in the output signal of the image sensor whose black level is determined are detected and digitized.
