ABSTRACT:
A solid-state imaging device for high-speed photography includes an imaging element area in which a plurality of pixel portions having photodetectors for photography are disposed in a matrix form. The solid-state imaging device generates image data by capturing pixel information obtained from the photodetectors for photography. The solid-state imaging device for high-speed photography further includes: a change detection element that detects a change in an amount of incident light, which is disposed in the imaging element area or at a predetermined position surrounding the imaging element area; and a controller that controls starting or stopping of capturing of pixel information obtained from the photodetectors for photography in accordance with a trigger signal based on a detection signal output from the change detection element. Since the photographing can be started in accordance with the generation of a phenomenon, the phenomenon can be recorded with reliability, and an excellent power-saving capability also can be provided.
