There is provided a method of driving a solid-state image sensor, including the steps of transferring signal charges from photoelectric transfer devices to vertical CCDs constituted of a plurality of pixels, when a pulse is applied to the pixel, the pulse being applied to the pixels in at least two pixel lines so that a trailing edge of a first pulse to be applied in a first pixel line corresponds with a leading edge of a second pulse to be applied in a second pixel line, transferring the signal charges from the vertical CCDs to a horizontal CCD, and outputting the signal charges from horizontal CCD to an external circuit. The method makes it possible to prevent an increase in a substrate voltage at which charges are reversely transferred to photodiodes, which increase is caused by simultaneously applying pulses to all signal readers.
