One object is to provide a solid-state imaging device that can capture visible light images such as RGB images and infrared images such as NIR images and maintain a high light-receiving sensitivity for infrared light, a method of driving such a solid-state imaging device, and an electronic apparatus. The solid-state imaging device includes: a pixel part having unit pixel groups arranged therein, the unit pixel groups each including a plurality of pixels at least for visible light that perform photoelectric conversion; and a reading part for reading pixel signals from the pixel part, wherein the plurality of pixels for visible light have a light-receiving sensitivity for infrared light, and in an infrared reading mode, the reading part is capable of adding together signals for infrared light read from the plurality of pixels for visible light.
A solid-state imaging device comprising:
A method of driving a solid-state imaging device, the solid-state imaging device including a solid-state pixel circuit having unit pixel groups arranged therein, the unit pixel groups including a first plurality of pixels for visible light and a second plurality of pixels for infrared light that perform photoelectric conversion that generates pixel signals, the second plurality of pixels for infrared light having a light-receiving sensitivity to infrared light, the method comprising:
An electronic apparatus, comprising:
