PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a solid-state imaging apparatus which can operate at high speed by suppressing p-well potential variation while preventing overflow of charges, which may occur during motion picture capturing, from thinning lines to adjacent pixels. SOLUTION: A solid-state imaging apparatus includes, inside a plurality of pixels 201 disposed in a two-dimensional shape: a photodiode 202; a read transistor 203 for reading stored charges from the photodiode 202; an FD 204 for holding read-out charges; a reset transistor 205 for resetting the FD 204 into initial state; and an amplification transistor 206 for receiving a potential of the FD 204 and amplifying/outputting its signal. A pulsewidth of discharge pulses, to be applied to the read transistor 203, on (n) lines of thinning lines is made narrower than a pulsewidth of read pulses, to be applied to the read transistor 203, on (n+1) lines which are reading lines.
