A solid-state imaging device includes a pixel array unit, a row control unit, a row readout unit, a column control unit, and a column readout unit. The pixel array unit includes MN pixels each including a photodiode for generating charges by receiving light and arrayed two-dimensionally in M rows and N columns. The pixel inputs an m-th row control signal output from the row control unit to an m-th row control line, inputs an n-th column control signal output from the column control unit to an n-th column control line, and selects whether the charges generated in the photodiode are output to an m-th row output line or an n-th column output line based on a logical value of each of the m-th row control signal and the n-th column control signal.
