PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a solid state imaging device and an imaging method in which cells including a plurality of pixels can be configured into an advantageous layout as an output unit, while minimizing deterioration of S/N ratio in binning.SOLUTION: A solid state imaging devoice 5 has a pixel array 21, and a vertical shift register 13 as a row selection circuit. The pixel array 21 outputs signals in units of cell 20. The cell 20 includes a plurality of pixels arranged in parallel in the row direction. The cell 20 includes a first cell and a second cell staggered in the column direction. The first cell includes a blue pixel and a green pixel. The second cell includes a green pixel and a red pixel. In the binning in the column direction, the row selection circuit simultaneously selects the rows including the green pixel in the first cell for the first cell. In the binning, the row selection circuit simultaneously selects, for the second cell, the rows including the green pixel in the second cell. |
