Abstract

A solid-state imaging apparatus (1) is provided with a photoresponse section (11), a first holding section (21), a second holding section (22), an output selecting section (31), an AD converting section (40), a biasing section (50) and a control section (61). A voltage (V1m,n) corresponding to the quantity of charges generated by a photodiode of each pixel section (Pm,n) on the mth row of the photoresponse section (11) corresponding to light input over a first period is held by the first holding section (21), and a voltage (V2m,n) corresponding to the quantity of charges generated by the photodiode of each pixel section (Pm,n) on the mth row corresponding to light input over a second period, which is shorter than the first period, is held by a second holding section (22). An output selecting section (31) selectively outputs the voltage (V1m,n) when the voltage (V1m,n) is less than a reference voltage (Vsat), and selectively outputs a voltage (V2m,n) when the voltage is not less than the reference voltage.
