IN-VEHICLE CAMERA

The in-vehicle camera includes an image sensor, a shutter, an image processing unit, and an exposure control unit. The image sensor includes multiple pixels to collect optical information. The shutter is a front curtain electronic type that includes a front curtain of an electronic type and a rear curtain of any type. An electronic controller starts collection of optical information in each pixel thereby opening the shutter. The image processing unit generates an image based on the optical information as collected. The exposure control unit controls the shutter to allow shutter times, during which the shutter is open for first and second image sensor areas obtained by dividing pixels P of the image sensor into multiple areas, to be different from each other.
