An imaging apparatus in which the dynamic range can be substantially increased even with the use of a solid image sensor, such as a CCD image sensor. The imaging apparatus includes a solid-state imaging unit for reading out two picture signals with different signal charge storage time durations via a vertical transfer section and via first and second horizontal transfer sections for outputting all-pixel picture signals on the field basis, and a shutter control unit for providing different signal charge storage time durations of the solid-state imaging unit. The imaging apparatus also includes a synthesizing unit for synthesizing the two picture signals with different signal charge storage time durations produced by the shutter control unit.
