Abstract
The present invention is to provide a driving method for a solid-state imaging device which suppresses increase of smear and occurrence of image blur when imaging a moving object.In the driving method, for each row of the color filters arranged in the Bayer pattern, for a pixel, a signal charge is held in a first holding unit, which is generated in a preceding field period temporally preceding a predetermined field out of two different fields temporally equidistant from the predetermined field, a first signal charge is held in a second holding unit, which is generated within the predetermined field, the signal charge held in the first holding unit and a signal charge which is generated in a following field period are added, and a second signal charge obtained by the addition and the first signal charge are respectively outputted to outside of the solid-state imaging device.
