PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an imaging device that can significantly extend a dynamic range compared with a prior art.SOLUTION: An imaging device of the present invention includes a photoelectric conversion element that photoelectrically converts incident light to create signal charges and accumulates and amplifies the signal charges to output a photoelectric current, and is configured such that: when an output signal has exceeded a threshold, which is the limit value of charges in which first signal charges can be accumulated in the photoelectric conversion element, the output signal can include an output signal of second signal charges that have been converted by the photoelectric conversion element after the reception of incident light during a period of reading the signal charges accumulated in the photoelectric conversion element. |
