Abstract
A solid-state imaging apparatus including: a pixel section having a plurality of pixels arranged into a matrix, each pixel containing a reset section for resetting an accumulation section by supplying a potential retained at a reset line; a correlation double sampling circuit for suppressing a noise signal contained in the pixel signal; and a control section where, of a first one of the pixels and a second one of the pixels connected to the same one of a signal output line, when the first pixel is determined as a pixel subject to reset operation for obtaining an output of the pixel signal corresponding to a first potential supplied by the reset section, a voltage level of the same one signal output line at the time of the reset operation is set with using a pixel signal corresponding to a second potential supplied by the reset section of the second pixel.
