Abstract: An imaging device includes a photoelectric converter that generates signal charge; a charge storage node that stores the signal charge; a capacitive element connected to the charge storage node; and a first transistor connected to the charge storage node via the capacitive element, wherein switching between on-state and off-state of the first transistor causes an amount of saturated charge in the charge storage node to change.
