Abstract
Provided are a solid-state imaging device, a method for driving a solid-state imaging device, and an electronic apparatus that are capable of selecting a pixel operating mode between a RS mode and a GS mode and switching a conversion gain read-out mode, where signals produced with different conversion gains are read, among several options depending on a scene. As a result, the solid-state imaging device, the method for driving the solid-state imaging device and the electronic apparatus can minimize a drop in SNR at the conjunction point between a HCG signal and a LCG signal and also achieve high full well capacity and little dark noise. In a solid-state imaging device, a pixel part includes pixels arranged in a matrix pattern, and each pixel includes a photoelectric conversion reading part. The solid-state imaging device is capable of performing rolling shutter (RS) and global shutter (GS).
