An imaging apparatus is provided for reducing noise which is derived from random noise contained in a correction signal used for correcting an image data and is newly generated on correction of the image data. The imaging apparatus drives vertical transfer registers (302) with no signal charge from photoelectric transducers (301) read out to the vertical transfer registers (302) to obtain and store a correction signal into a field memory (7). The apparatus subtracts the correction signal from the image data by a subtractor (8).

A solid-state imaging apparatus having color separation filters is provided which produces a signal with reduced chrominance and luminance moire and thereby improves resolution, and the spectral characteristics of the color filters for the solid-state imaging apparatus are so set that when the spectral characteristic of each color filter is multiplied by a prescribed coefficient, the sum of four or two horizontally adjacent pixels becomes approximately equal between two vertically adjacent lines. A coefficient multiplying circuit multiplies an output signal from each color filter by the prescribed coefficient, and signal processing is performed.
