1. An imaging apparatus including a plurality of pixels including at least a first pixel and a second pixel, the first pixel and the second pixel each having
a converting unit configured to generate an electric signal based on an incident electromagnetic wave; an input unit configured to receive the electric signal from the converting unit; a reference signal input unit configured to receive a reference signal; and an A/D (analog to digital) converting unit configured to convert the electric signal to a digital signal based on a result of comparison between a potential of the input unit and a potential of the reference signal input unit, wherein a reset period for resetting at least one of a potential of the converting unit, a potential of the input unit, and a potential of the reference signal input unit is started for the first pixel and the second pixel at different timing from each other; and timing for inputting the electric signal from the converting unit to the input unit is synchronized between the first pixel and the second pixel. |
