SOLID-STATE IMAGING APPARATUS, AND IMAGING APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To relax an influence of variation of pixel signal voltage by pixel reset on judgment of blackening. SOLUTION: Whether or not a condition is a high light volume imaging condition is judged by comparison between a D phase level of the pixel signal voltage Vx and a judgement level V_det of a reference signal SLP_SUN. When the reference signal SLP_SUN is at an initial value level V_ini, the judgement level V_det is prevented from being influenced by variation of the pixel signal voltage by the pixel reset by an initialization operation for short-circuiting between input and output of a comparison part to align the initial value level V_ini and the pixel signal voltage in the pixel reset. When it is judged that the condition is the high light volume imaging condition, data correction is performed so that output data may become the one in which an adverse effect resulting from the high light volume imaging condition is suppressed.
