A solid-state imaging device, a method for driving a solid-state imaging device and an electronic apparatus are capable of reducing kTC noise of a LCG signal, preventing a drop in SNR at the conjunction point between a HCG signal and the LCG signal, and eventually achieving improved image quality. At a start of a reset period, first and second reset transistors are switched into a conduction state. During a predetermined first period after the reset period starts, the first reset line is kept connected to a reset potential. After the first period elapses, the second reset transistor is switched into a non-conduction state to switch the first reset line into a floating state, so that the first reset line has high impedance. After a second period elapses and when the reset period ends, the first reset transistor is switched into the non-conduction state.
