A solid-state imaging apparatus including: a pixel section having a plurality of pixels arranged into two dimensions for converting an incident light into a signal electric charge and for outputting an electrical signal corresponding to the signal electric charge; vertical signal lines for reading the signals of the pixel section column by column; a horizontal signal line for reading the signals through switches from the vertical signal lines; and a variable amplification section for reading the signal from the horizontal signal line with amplifying it by a predetermined amplification factor, and further includes a control section for effecting a control so that a signal level on the horizontal signal line does not exceed a predetermined limit level when signals are read out from the vertical signal lines to the horizontal signal line.
