    摘要: There is provided a solid-state imaging device including a plurality of pixels which are arranged in a two-dimensional array form and in each of which color separation is performed in a substrate depth direction. The solid-state imaging device includes a pixel addition section which performs addition, when pixel signals of the plurality of pixels are added up to be outputted, by setting addition regions of pixel signals of a first color component to be shifted from addition regions of pixel signals of a second color component at regular intervals.
