Solid-state imaging device and imaging apparatus

The invention discloses a solid-state imaging device and an imaging apparatus. The solid-state imaging device includes: a pixel area section in which plural pixels having photoelectric conversion sections, in which signal charges are accumulated, are arranged along a horizontal direction and a vertical direction; a vertical scanning unit that selects the pixels of the pixel area section in row units and reads out the signal charges from the pixels in row units; and an electronic shutter unit that supplies a reset signal set in a valid state and a transfer signal set in a valid state to the pixels in row units to reset all the pixels and, then, supplies the transfer signal set in an invalid state to the pixels in row units to release the reset of the pixels and starts accumulation of the signal charges in the pixels. The invention facilitates to increase speed of the electronic shutter operation and to secure the quality of the picked-up image.
