An apparatus has an image sensing device, an instruction device for instructing
to execute a plurality of image sensing operations with different image sensing
times of the image sensing device, and a signal processing device for performing
a first image sensing operation for making the image sensing device perform an
image sensing operation in an exposure state to obtain a sensed image signal, and
a second image sensing operation for making the image sensing device perform an
image sensing operation in a non-exposure state to obtain a sensed image signal,
and processing the sensed image signal obtained by the first image sensing operation
by the sensed image signal obtained by the second image sensing operation. The
signal processing device changes the second image sensing operation in response
to the instruction of the instruction device.
