A medical imaging apparatus includes: an imaging unit a mode setting unit and an imaging controller configured to drive the imaging unit in accordance with a driving mode set with the mode setting unit. The first driving mode sets exposure time of all pixels to an equal time, and outputs each of pixel signals as a pixel signal of one pixel. The second driving mode divides all the pixels into groups, setting at least one of all the pixels included in the group to have an exposure time different from an exposure time of the other pixels, and outputting, for each of the groups, an addition pixel signal as a pixel signal of one pixel. The third driving mode sets exposure time of all the pixels to an equal time, and outputs, for each of the groups, an addition pixel signal as a pixel signal of one pixel.
