1. An image sensor comprising:
a first floating diffusion to which a first photoelectrically converted electric charge is transferred;
a second floating diffusion to which a second photoelectrically converted electric charge is transferred;
a first amplifier connected to the first floating diffusion;
a second amplifier connected to the second floating diffusion;
a first output signal line connected to a source of the first amplifier and to which the first amplifier outputs a first pixel signal;
a second output signal line connected to a source of the second amplifier and to which the second amplifier outputs a second pixel signal; and
a first connection switch that controls a connection between the first amplifier and the first output signal line and between the second amplifier and the second output signal line.
