Abstract

An imaging apparatus including: a plurality of pixels including a photoelectric conversion element and a sample hold circuit; a plurality of signal lines configured to read from the plurality of pixels an electric signal held in the sample hold circuit therein; a imaging control unit configured to perform a first control for applying the held electric signal to the plurality of signal lines, and a second control for sequentially applying to the signal lines the electric signal obtained corresponding to light received by each of the plurality of pixels and reading the electric signal, after the first control has been performed; and a generation unit configured not to create image data based on the electric signal applied to the signal line by the first control but to create the image data based on the electric signal read via the signal line by the second control.
