Imaging device

Abstract

To reduce power consumption and shorten settling time of a vertical signal line by making a reset potential of a vertical signal line variable. An imaging device includes a plurality of pixels arranged in one direction and each including a photoelectric conversion element, a signal line that transmits a plurality of pixel signals obtained as a result of photoelectric conversion in the plurality of pixels, an illuminance determination unit that determines illuminance of light incident on the plurality of pixels, and a reset potential switch that switches a reset potential for initializing a potential of the signal line on a basis of the illuminance determined by the illuminance determination unit.
