An imaging apparatus includes a solid-state imaging device for generating an image signal. The solid-state imaging device includes light receiving pixels for accumulating information charges. Vertical shift registers transfer the information charges accumulated in the light receiving pixels when receiving a cyclic vertical drive signal. A horizontal shift register outputs the information charges received from the vertical shift registers when receiving a horizontal drive signal. Unnecessary charges stored in the horizontal shift register are drained during at least part of a period in which the output of the image signal is interrupted and the output interruption period is relatively long to prevent the image quality from deteriorating.
