ABSTRACT:
A solid-state imaging device includes: a plurality of light-receiving elements which are arranged by rows and columns. A driving unit performs a driving, so that a signal packet and a plurality of dummy packets in an identical column are mixed together into a mixed packet in each holding units, charges of the mixed packet are held in a hold unit, the held charges of the mixed packet are vertically transferred to a horizontal transfer unit so that the mixed packet is mixed with a mixed packet of a different hold unit which is vertically transferred from the different hold unit to the horizontal transfer unit.
