SOLID-STATE IMAGING APPARATUS

摘要

A solid-state imaging apparatus is provided which includes a plurality of pixels (101) arranged in a matrix for generating a signal by a photoelectric conversion, a plurality of column amplifier units (102) arranged each correspondingly to each of columns of the plurality of pixels, for outputting a first signal generated by amplifying at a first gain the signals from the plurality of pixels, and a second signal generated by amplifying at a second gain the signals from the plurality of pixels, and an analog to digital converting unit (108) for selecting one signal from the first and second signals for analog to digital conversion.
