Claim 14:
15. Electronic equipment comprising an imaging device, the imaging device including:
a pixel array section including a plurality of pixels, wherein the plurality of pixels includes light receiving elements;
a first pixel control section configured to control a first read out of a plurality of pixel signals of the plurality of pixels at a first frame rate;
a second pixel control section configured to control a second read out of a first set of pixel signals of a first set of pixels in a specific region in the pixel array section at a second frame rate, wherein
the plurality of pixels includes the first set of pixels, and
the second frame rate is higher than the first frame rate;

an analog-to-digital conversion section configured to execute analog-to-digital conversion on a pixel signal of each pixel of the plurality of pixel signals read out by one of the first pixel control section or the second pixel control section; and
two systems of readout signal lines configured to read out pixel signal of each pixel of the plurality of pixels,
wherein
the two systems of readout signal lines include a first readout signal line and a second readout signal line on a per-pixel-column basis, and
each pixel of the plurality of pixels is configured to be connected to both the first readout signal line and the second readout signal line.
