Abstract
A pixel region includes: pixels each including a plurality of photoelectric conversion devices; a light-shielding region; and an effective region. A reading circuit reads, from a first row of the pixel region, a pixel signal obtained by adding signals of the plurality of photoelectric conversion devices, and reads, from a second row of the pixel region, a plurality of signals including phase difference information. A horizontal streak correction circuit performs one of a first offset correction based on a signal read from the light-shielding region and a second offset correction based on a predetermined value on a pixel signal obtained from a second row of the effective region. An image processing circuit processes image data according to a parameter. The horizontal streak correction circuit selects the first offset correction or the second offset correction according to the parameter.
