FIELD: physics; image processing.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a device for taking images and can be used, for instance, in video cameras, electronic still image cameras and tracking devices. A device is proposed for taking images, in which an apparatus (3) for taking images and an apparatus (6) for compressing images are connected to each other using a wiring layer, formed on the surface opposite the image taking surface of the apparatus (3) for taking images, and that way, are integrated into each other. The data compression ratio, used for compressing data of at least the next unit is varied, based on the amount of code, generated during compression of resultant data S1 from taking an image in a separate unit. The resultant data S1 from taking an image for each photovoltaic conversion module is output from apparatus (3) for taking images, such that, it corresponds to processing in a separate unit.
EFFECT: efficient use of high degree of freedom for reading taken images, which is a property of a solid-state image taking element with simplification of the general configuration and reliability of controlling.
