Imaging device, driving method, and electronic apparatus

A method of driving an imaging device that includes:

• a pixel region in which a plurality of pixels are arranged, the pixels each including a photoelectric conversion unit configured to convert incident light into electric charges through electric conversion and stores the electric charges, and two or more charge storage units configured to store the electric charges transferred from the photoelectric conversion unit;
• and a drive unit configured to drive the pixels,
• the method comprising
• repeatedly transferring electric charges with different exposure times from the photoelectric conversion unit to the two or more charge storage units during a light reception period of one frame, the drive unit causing the photoelectric conversion unit to repeatedly transfer electric charges.

An electronic apparatus comprising

• an imaging device including:
• a pixel region in which a plurality of pixels are arranged, the pixels each including a photoelectric conversion unit configured to convert incident light into electric charges through electric conversion and store the electric charges, and two or more charge storage units configured to store the electric charges transferred from the photoelectric conversion unit;
• and
• a drive unit configured to drive each pixel to cause the photoelectric conversion unit to repeatedly transfer electric charges with different exposure times to the two or more charge storage units during a light reception period of one frame.
