Abstract:
An imaging apparatus of the present disclosure includes: a first switch that couples a first light-receiving device and a first charge accumulation section to each other; a second switch that couples a predetermined node and the first charge accumulation section to each other; a third switch that applies a predetermined voltage to the predetermined node; a fourth switch that couples a second light-receiving device and a second charge accumulation section to each other; a fifth switch that couples the second charge accumulation section and the predetermined node to each other; an output section that outputs a pixel voltage; a driving section; and a processor that determines first to fourth values. The driving section turns on the second and third switches and turning off the first, fourth, and fifth switches to the off state in a first period, turns off the third switch and turns on the fifth switch in a second period, turns on the fourth switch in a third period, and turns off the fourth switch in a fourth period. The processor determines the third value on the basis of the pixel voltages in the second and fourth periods.
