Abstract

In a solid-state imaging device, the first binning switchis formed such that a MOS capacitance and a wire capacitance of a wire connected to the binning switch, each having a value in accordance with an ON or OFF state, are added to a capacitance of a floating diffusion FD of a pixel PXL to be read, so as to optimize the capacitance of the floating diffusion FD and optimally adjust a conversion gain in accordance with a mode. This operation increases an image quality.
