Abstract:
An imaging device includes pixels each including a photoelectric converter, and a control unit that controls an accumulation period for charge in the pixels. The pixels are divided into pixel blocks, the control unit is configured to control the accumulation period for each pixel block, the pixel blocks include first and second pixel blocks and a third pixel block arranged between the first and second pixel blocks, and the control unit includes a mode to commonly control the accumulation period in the first and third pixel blocks and control the accumulation period in the second pixel block independently of that of the first and third pixel blocks, and a mode to commonly control the accumulation period in the second and third pixel blocks and control the accumulation period in the first pixel block independently of that of the second and third pixel blocks.
