PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electronic shutter driving method for solid-state image pickup device and a solid-state image pickup device, with which a sharp still picture can be provided by simultaneously providing the same object optical image irradiation time when electronic shutter operation is performed. SOLUTION: First of all, a reset switch Sya and a switch Tr for charge transfer are turned on. After the potential of a cathode Sd' of a photodiode D and the potential of a non-grounded side terminal Sc' of a capacitor C are respectively set to a reset potential Vs, the reset switch Sta is turned off but the switch Tr for charge transfer is still turned on, and in such a state the object optical image is irradiated by the photodiode D. The charge of the photodiode D at that time is transferred and held through the switch Tr for charge transfer to the capacitor C for charge storage. In such a state, a switch SWv1 for video signal read is turned on.
