Abstract

See full text

A solid-state imaging apparatus of this invention includes a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix and configured to generate signals by photoelectric conversion, a plurality of signal lines each provided on each column of the pixels, and a plurality of column circuits each provided for each of the signal lines. It is possible to select one of a first readout operation of simultaneously processing the signals of the pixels on a plurality of rows by the plurality of column circuits and a second readout operation of simultaneously processing the signal of the same pixel by different gains by the plurality of column circuits.
