Abstract
A solid-state imaging device includes an image sensor configured to output image data generated by image sensing elements together with a timing signal, and an image processing unit configured to output the image data supplied from the image sensor having undergone predetermined signal processing a predetermined delay time after a timing indicated by the timing signal, the image sensor further configured to make the timing signal indicate a first timing that is at least the processing delay time earlier than a second timing indicative of a start of a valid period of the image data, and to output dummy data from the first timing to the start of the valid period of the image data.
