Imaging device, control method, and an imaging device

This technique is more easily, the image pickup device to be able to realize more various data output, control method, and an imaging apparatus. In one aspect of the present technique, the assigned plurality signal lines for transmitting pixel signals read out from pixels for each column, each of the plurality of signal lines of each column, different modes assignment of reading of the pixel signal are, for each column of the pixel array in which pixels are connected corresponding to the mode, the pixel signals from the pixels connected to the signal lines corresponding to the mode of reading of the pixel signals are read out in that mode, the read pixel signal is transmitted via a signal line. This technique, for example, can be applied to an imaging device or the imaging device.
