The solid-state imaging device according to the present invention reads the imaging signal based on the charge accumulated by the light receiving unit (244e) in which photoelectric conversion elements that accumulate charges corresponding to the received light quantity are arranged, and the light accumulated by the light receiving unit (244e). Part (244f) and a color filter (244g). The color filter (244g) has six or more green filters, six or more blue filters, and two or more red filters. A filter unit comprising 16 filters selected to be 4 or less arranged in 4 rows and 4 columns is arranged in a lattice pattern, and the filter unit transmits light in the wavelength band of the same color. The two filters are divided by a reading unit adjacent in one direction, and the reading unit (244f) reads the charges accumulated by the two photoelectric conversion elements corresponding to the reading unit at a time. Put out. 本発明にかかる固体撮像素子は、受光した光量に応じた電荷を蓄積する光電変換素子が配列されてなる受光部（２４４ｅ）と、受光部（２４４ｅ）が蓄積した電荷に基づく撮像信号を読み出す読み出し部（２４４ｆ）と、カラーフィルタ（２４４ｇ）と、を備え、カラーフィルタ（２４４ｇ）は、緑色フィルタの数が６個以上、青色フィルタの数が６個以上、かつ赤色フィルタの数が２個以上４個以下となるように選択される１６個のフィルタを４行４列で配置してなるフィルタユニットを格子状に配置してなり、フィルタユニットは、同一色の波長帯域の光を透過する２つのフィルタが一方向で隣接する読み出しユニットで区分され、読み出し部（２４４ｆ）は、読み出しユニットに応じた２つの光電変換素子が蓄積した電荷を一括して読み出す。
