1. An apparatus comprising:
a pixel area including a plurality of pixels;
a plurality of temperature sensors;
a processing circuit configured to compare signals based on outputs from the plurality of temperature sensors with each other; and
an output circuit configured to output information based on a result of comparison,
wherein, if the result of comparison indicates that a difference between the signals based on the outputs from the plurality of temperature sensors exceeds a predetermined value, the information is output using the output circuit and
wherein the predetermined value includes an output difference that is caused by a difference of positions where the plurality of temperature sensors is placed in the apparatus and that corresponds to a difference in temperature.
