Abstract

A solid-state imaging device includes a plurality of first photoelectric conversion elements, a plurality of second photoelectric conversion elements different from the plurality of first photoelectric conversion elements, a plurality of storage units, and a control unit. The plurality of storage units store signal charges output only from the plurality of first photoelectric conversion elements. The control unit controls operations of a first mode of outputting first signals based on signal charges output only from the plurality of first photoelectric conversion elements and stored in the plurality of storage units and a second mode of outputting second signals based on signal charges output from the plurality of first photoelectric conversion elements and the plurality of second photoelectric conversion elements without passing through the plurality of storage units.
