Abstract
Provided is a method of driving an imaging apparatus, including: a first step of generating, by at least some of a plurality of comparison circuits, a determination signal that indicates a result of a comparison made between an electric potential of a photoelectric conversion signal and a predetermined electric potential; a second step of setting, based on the determination signal generated by the at least some of the plurality of comparison circuits, an amount of change with time of an electric potential of a reference signal, which is input to at least two of the plurality of comparison circuits; and a third step of performing, by each of the plurality of comparison circuits, analog-to-digital conversion of the photoelectric conversion signal based on a result of a comparison made between the photoelectric conversion signal and the reference signal set in the second step.
