Abstract:
1. A solid state imaging device, comprising: a pixel section in which a plurality of first pixels and a plurality of second pixels are alternatively arranged along a first direction, the first pixels converting incident light via a first filter having a first spectral characteristic into electrical signals and the second pixels converting incident light via a second filter having a second spectral characteristic which is different from the first spectral characteristic into electrical signals; a scanning circuit reading respective electrical signals from the first pixels and the second pixels arranged in the pixel section; a first signal outputting circuit adding the electrical signals read by the scanning circuit from the first pixels; a second signal outputting circuit adding the electrical signals read by the scanning circuit from the second pixels; and an addition controlling circuit shifting sampling positions of pixels to be added at the first signal outputting circuit and the second signal outputting circuit.
