Abstract
In one example, a photodetection element has pixels including an event signal generating section that detects a change in luminance of incident light in a same direction as an event and generates an event signal and a grayscale signal generating section that generates a grayscale signal corresponding to the luminance of the incident light. A row control section commonly outputs a control signal to the grayscale signal generating section to generate the grayscale signal and control reading the grayscale signal at shifted timings for each row, and controls outputting a control signal to the event signal generating section to detect the event and control of reading the event signal. The overlapping prediction row detecting section detects an overlapping prediction row that is a row in which overlapping of periods of generation of the grayscale signal and detection of the event is predicted.
