Abstract
In a pixel array unit 11, pixels that generate pixel signals are arranged in a matrix. A control unit 17 performs reading of pixel signals in a first mode in which reading of the pixel signals is performed by thinning out lines from the pixel array unit 11, and reading of pixel signals in a second mode in which reading of the pixel signals is performed by including the lines thinned out in the first mode after the reading in the first mode. A signal processing unit 16 uses a pixel signal read in the first mode and a pixel signal read in the second mode, to set an amount of correction for a pixel of the lines thinned out in the first mode, on the basis of the pixel signal read in the second mode from a pixel in which reading of the pixel signal is performed in the first mode and the second mode, and corrects the pixel signal read in the second mode from the pixel of the lines thinned out in the first mode with the set amount of correction to reduce an influence of leakage light.
