In a solid state imaging device according to the present application, a sampling hold part samples and holds, in accordance with sampling control signals φTVN, φTVS, a dark signal and a light signal of each of vertical signal lines provided to correspond to each column of pixels, and supplies the signals being held to horizontal signal lines in accordance with a horizontal scanning signal. During predetermined intervals T21, T22 including signal sampling timings t1, t2 determined by the sampling control signals φTVN, φTVS, pulse, signals φGH, φHCLK1, φHCLK2, φRSTH that relate in reading the signals supplied from the sampling hold part to the horizontal signal lines are stopped. Accordingly, an influence of noise when the signals corresponding to the signals of the vertical signal lines are sampled by the sampling hold part is reduced, resulting in that an image quality of a captured image is further increased.
