Abstract

A solid-state imaging device includes pixels each of which includes a photoelectric converter configured to generate charges by photoelectric conversion, a holding unit configured to hold charges generated by the photoelectric converter, and a transfer unit configured to transfer charges from the photoelectric converter to the holding unit, and outputs a signal based on charges in the holding unit, a transfer control unit configured to control the transfer unit to transfer charges generated by the photoelectric converter during one exposure period to the holding unit by a variable number, which is one or greater, of transfer operations, an amplifier unit configured to amplify the signal, and a control unit configured to control a gain of the amplifier unit to be a first gain when the number of transfer operations is first number and to be a second gain when the number of transfer operations is a second number.
