<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an imaging apparatus which can be driven at high speed and can suppress noise. Ž<P>SOLUTION: The imaging apparatus comprises: photoelectric transducers; a plurality of vertical charge transfer paths for vertically transferring signal charges accumulated in the respective photoelectric transducers; a line memory which is provided at the end of the respective vertical charge transfer paths, and driven separately from the drive of the vertical charge transfer paths; a solid-state image pickup device in which a horizontal charge transfer path is established for transferring the signal charge moved from the line memory to an output end side; and a driving means (TG, driver circuit). The driving means performs vertical transfer of the signal charges by the vertical charge transfer path during a horizontal transfer period by the horizontal charge transfer path, and delays the frequencies of horizontal transfer pulses ϕH1, H2, which perform horizontal transfer of the signal charges in the horizontal charge transfer path only for a predetermined period A corresponding to a pulse changing point of a vertical transfer pulse ϕV system for vertical transfer in the horizontal transfer period, compared with those in other than the predetermined period A.
