An imaging device includes: a photoelectric conversion element, a first transfer unit, a charge converter, a charge converter resetting unit, a signal output unit, a first transfer line, a transfer capacitor, a second transfer unit, a transfer capacitor resetting unit, a second transfer line, and a drive unit, and causes a signal to be output from the first transfer line via the second transfer unit by a noise signal reading operation and a light-noise sum signal reading operation, the noise signal reading operation resetting the transfer capacitor when a signal of the charge converter is output to the first transfer line after the first transfer unit is turned into an OFF state and the charge converter is reset, and the light-noise sum signal reading operation outputting the signal of the charge converter to the first transfer line after the transfer capacitor resetting unit is turned into an OFF state, the first transfer unit is turned into an ON state, and a charge accumulated by the photoelectric conversion element is transferred.
