The present invention has as an object to provide a solid-state imaging device which makes possible mixing pixels without causing quality deterioration, such as non-uniformity of an image. A VDr (110) controls transfer of charge performed by a column CCD (210), so that: the column CCD (210) sequentially transfers plural packets each representing the charge transferred through successive well regions which are divided by a barrier region; a stand-by period in which the charge transfer in the plural packets suspends for every plural packets is longer than a transfer period in which the charge transfer in the plural packets is performed; two of charge transfer stages working as barrier regions are two charge transfer stages out of four or more charge transfer stages in the stand-by period; and one of neighboring two charge transfer stages works as the barrier region or a well region with a potential inclined in a charge transfer direction, and the other one of the neighboring two charge transfer stages (i) is positioned upstream of the transfer direction of the charge in relation to the one of the charge transfer stages, (ii) has no potential inclined in the transfer direction of the charge, (iii) and works as a barrier region having a potential higher than the one of the charge transfer stages in the stand-by period.
