Abstract:
A solid-state imaging device includes a sharing pixel block having k (where k is a natural number other than 1) pixel transistors corresponding to n (where n is a natural number other than 1) pixels and a row-selection circuit configured to select the pixel transistors every row in the sharing pixel block using logic of an address signal and a timing signal. In this solid-state imaging device, in a case of a 1/n row decimation operation in which a signal is read every n rows, the row-selection circuit simultaneously performs shutter operations for n rows corresponding to the k pixel transistors included in the sharing pixel block using an input of a simultaneous-shutter-operation signal.
