The method of driving the solid-state imaging apparatus

Object of the present invention to provide can be realized even when drastic changes in the luminance image capturing moving image, the driving method is also more than a high-quality solid-state image pickup device does not occur in an image, comprising two-dimensionally in a horizontal manner solid-state imaging device arranged in the scanning direction and m columns, n rows of pixels arranged in the vertical scanning direction (n is an integer of 2 or more, m is a natural number) at the end of the i-th row (i n-1 and less than 1 when the reset operation following an integer) of the pixel, the pixel of the (i + 1) row is reset operation, or after the pixels in the (i + 1) row reset operation elapsed time is less than 1 recording times.
