ABSTRACT:
A solid-state imaging device includes a pixel array unit configured by arranging plural unit pixels including charge generating units and output transistors that output processing object signals corresponding to charges generated by the charge generating units, an imaging-condition determining unit that determines whether a large light-amount imaging condition, when an amount of light larger than that of light representing a saturation level is made incident on the charge generating units, is satisfied, and a control unit that performs control, on condition that the imaging-condition determining unit determines that the large light-amount imaging condition is satisfied, to correct an output signal based on processing object signals outputted from the unit pixels such that a harmful effect due to the large light-amount imaging condition is suppressed in the output signal.
