Abstract
A solid-state imaging device according to the present disclosure includes a pixel array unit in which unit pixels including photoelectric conversion elements are arranged in a matrix form and the unit pixels are grouped into a plurality of pixel groups and a timing controller which independently sets an exposure start timing and an exposure end timing relative to each of the plurality of pixel groups so that at least one pixel group of the plurality of pixel groups is exposed a plurality of times within a single vertical synchronization period.
