Abstract A solid-state imaging device includes first-group pixels , second-group pixels skipped during thinning drive, and a scanning section . The scanning section drives each of the first-group pixels to perform read operation of outputting the output signal and initializing the amount of the signal charge accumulated in the photoelectric conversion element to a first level, and also drives each of the second-group pixels to perform discharge operation of initializing the amount of the signal charge accumulated in the photoelectric conversion element to a second level that is higher than the first level and lower than a saturation signal level of the photoelectric conversion element
