An imaging device includes multiple pixels, a first analog-to-digital (AD) converter and a second AD converter that receive analog signals read from the pixels and output digital signals the analog signals, a first frame memory, and an image processor. The analog signals include a reset signal representing a reset level and a pixel signal representing an image of a subject. The first frame memory temporarily stores a first digital signal that is one of the digital signals, corresponding to the reset signal, output from the first AD converter and the second AD converter. The image processor outputs a difference between the first digital signal stored on the first frame memory and a second digital signal that is another one of the digital signals, corresponding to the pixel signal on pixels from which the reset signal is read, output from the first AD converter and the second AD converter.
