Abstract
A solid-state imaging device includes a plurality of pixels and a pixel control circuit. The pixel control circuit is configured to control the signal transfer circuit so that an imaging operation is performed simultaneously in the plurality of pixel group units and a plurality of imaging operations are performed in each of the plurality of pixel group units. In each of the plurality of imaging operations, an imaging signal output from at least one of two or more photoelectric conversion elements included in each of the plurality of pixel group units is transferred to one of two or more memories included in each of the plurality of pixel group units. Each of the two or more memories included in each of the plurality of pixel group units holds the imaging signal in a predetermined order.
