Abstract
To improve an SN ratio in a solid-state imaging element provided with a capacitance for reducing a noise component. A first capacitance connection circuit connects one end of a first capacitance to a first signal line in a case where a first pixel signal is transmitted via the first signal line. A second capacitance connection circuit connects one end of a second capacitance to a second signal line in a case where a second pixel signal is transmitted via the second signal line. An intercapacitance connection circuit connects one end of each of the first capacitance and the second capacitance in a case where one of the first pixel signal and the second pixel signal is transmitted, and disconnects one end of each of the first capacitance and the second capacitance in a case where both the first pixel signal and the second pixel signal are transmitted.
