An imaging device whose dynamic range can be wide with a simple structure is provided. In a circuit configuration and an operation method of the imaging device, whether a charge detection portion provided in a pixel is saturated with electrons is determined and an operation mode is changed depending on the determination result. First imaging data is captured first, and is read out in the case where the charge detection portion is not saturated with electrons. In the case where the charge detection portion is saturated with electrons, the saturation of the charge detection portion is eliminated and second imaging data is captured and read out.
