Abstract
To improve image quality in a solid-state imaging element that performs synthesis processing to expand a dynamic range. A drive section causes each of first pixels and each of second pixels to be exposed over different exposure times in a case where a predetermined exposure ratio mode is set, and makes a value of a sensitivity of a third pixel different from a value of a sensitivity of a fourth pixel by pixel addition in a case where a predetermined pixel addition ratio mode is set. A mode setting section that sets one of the pixel addition ratio mode and the exposure ratio mode on the basis of a predetermined parameter related to an imaging scene.
