A solid-state imaging device comprises pixel units, column signal lines, column circuits, a switching unit, and a mode control unit. Pixel units are two-dimensionally disposed in a matrix direction, and each of them comprises a photoelectric conversion unit and an amplifying unit. Column signal lines are provided for each column and the pixel signals from the amplifying units are output to each of rows. Column circuits are provided for each column and process signals from the column signal lines. A switching unit switches connection between the column signal lines and the column circuits. A mode control unit outputs signals to the switching unit and controls switching between a first mode in which the column signal lines are connected to the column circuits on the same column thereof and a second mode in which the column signal lines are connected to the column circuits on another column.
