Abstract:
An electronic apparatus includes: a reference-signal output section that outputs a reference signal; a comparator that compares an electrical signal output from a pixel with the reference signal; a counter that obtains a count value as an AD conversion result of the electrical signal, the count value being obtained by counting time taken for the reference signal to change until the electrical signal and the reference signal match each other; and an auto-zero control section that performs control so that auto zero processing for setting the comparator is completed in a reset period, in which the pixel is reset, so that a comparison result indicating that two input signals supplied to the comparator match each other.
