PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To remove any fixed pattern noise without being affected by any signal component due to photoelectric conversion. SOLUTION: Charge acquired by photoelectric conversion with two-dimensionally arranged photoelectric conversion elements 121 is transferred to a vertical direction by a vertical transfer part 122. A horizontal transfer part 124 successively transfers charge transferred in the vertical direction by the vertical transfer part 122 to a horizontal direction, and converts it into an imaging signal. A correction signal is generated by using an imaging signal Sa generated by the horizontal transfer part 124, and the imaging signal to be output from the horizontal transfer part 124 is corrected according to the correction signal. A driving part 125 stops the transfer of charge from the vertical transfer part 122 to the horizontal transfer part 124 by a transfer control gate part 123. The correction signal is generated by using the imaging signal Sa to be output from the horizontal transfer part 124 when the charge transfer from the vertical transfer part 122 to the horizontal transfer part 124 is stopped.
