Disclosed is a solid state image pickup device that effectively decreases highlight horizontal line noise, regardless of the exposure range of the subject, without producing vertical line image defects. Disclosed is a solid state image pickup device (100), in which a multiplicity of picture elements (8), having a photodiode (19) that generates a signal voltage corresponding to the intensity of received light, are arrayed in a line, wherein each of the multiple picture elements (8) is equipped with an amplifier transistor (20), which amplifies the signal voltage by flowing an operating current, and outputs the voltage to a column signal (25) that is arrayed for each pixel column, and the solid state image pickup device (100) is equipped with a current correction circuit (27), which is disposed for each pixel column, and flows a correction current, which fluctuates in the direction opposite fluctuations in the operating current that flows from a power supply line (23) to a ground line (10) via the amplifier transistor (20), between the power supply line (23) and the ground line (10). |
