Abstract
A solid state imaging device includes a pixel unit and an output unit. The pixel unit has a first pixel and a second pixel different from the first pixel. The output unit has a first capacitance to which a first pixel signal read from the first pixel is input, a second capacitance to which a second pixel signal read from the second pixel is input, and an operational amplifier outputting an output signal in accordance with the first capacitance and the second capacitance.
