A pixel circuit includes: a photoelectric conversion device; a source-follower circuit; a transfer transistor that transfers charge generated in the photoelectric conversion device to an input node of the source-follower circuit; and a readout system that reads out a signal in response to the generated charge through the source-follower circuit, wherein the readout system floats the input node of the source-follower circuit and turns on the transfer transistor to transfer the signal charge to the input node, includes a function of turning off the transfer transistor, sensing an output node potential of the source-follower circuit, and reading out an output signal, and further includes an output modulation degree control function unit that temporarily reduces an output modulation degree of the source-follower circuit when the transfer transistor is turned on.
