Abstract
A solid-state image sensor includes a plurality of pixels arrayed in the row direction and the column direction, the first column signal line to which every other pixel arrayed in one pixel column is connected and the second column signal line to which remaining every other pixel arrayed in the one pixel array is connected, a pair of which are arranged for the one pixel column in the one pixel array; and a driver which drives the plurality of pixels arrayed in the one pixel column to simultaneously connect amplification transistors of a least two pixels to a same first column signal line on the same pixel column and simultaneously connect amplification transistors of at least two pixels to a same second column signal line on the same pixel column.
