ABSTRACT:
A solid-state imaging apparatus including: a pixel section having pixels arranged into a matrix, each pixel containing an electric charge retaining section with a first accumulation capacitance for retaining a signal electric charge, a photoelectric conversion device with a second accumulation capacitance greater than the first accumulation capacitance where a light signal is converted into signal electric charges and then accumulated, a transfer means for controlling a transfer of the signal electric charges from the photoelectric conversion device to the electric charge retaining section, a signal amplification means for amplifying the signal electric charges retained at the electric charge retaining section and outputting them as a pixel signal, and a reset means for controlling a connection between the photoelectric conversion device and a pixel power supply; a horizontal and vertical scanning means for outputting the pixel signal; and a control section for, after transfer of the signal electric charges by the transfer means, executing the connection between the photoelectric conversion device and the pixel power supply by the reset means before a start of an exposure.
