Abstract
Solid-state imaging device and apparatus provide a plurality of images in imaging periods overlapped. The imaging apparatus has: pixels each having a sensor generating pulses at a frequency corresponding to a light receiving frequency, a counter counting the number of pulses, and a memory storing a count value of the counter; and a generator generating a first imaging signal based on a count value of the counter at starting the photographing of a first image and a count value of the counter at stopping the photographing of the first image and generating a second imaging signal based on a count value of the counter at starting the photographing of a second image different from the first image and a count value of the counter at stopping the photographing of the second image.
